SVT RAPTOR BECOMES MORE PRACTICAL WITH A SUPERCREW CAB
By Cammie
Hydra and I kicked back a little after Ashley Force Hood's big win at the "BIG GO" (NHRA MAC Tools U.S. Nationals) over Labor Day weekend.
Now, back to business . . . I forgot to comment on Ford's new SVT Raptor SuperCrew.


Now, Ford's hot off-roader is a bit more practical for those who want to combine work with play. The standard mill is Ford's BOSS SOHC 6.2, slamming out 411 h.p.

And if 4-1-1 isn't enough, tuners such as Hennessey can bump up the power.



Sadly, there's no manual transmission option in any of Ford's F-series light trucks, including the SVT Raptor. That's just wrong.

Considering how smokin' hot the performance diesel segment is, it's also too bad that Ford doesn't build a PowerStroke turbo diesel with the Raptor's incredible suspension. That would make it even more of a Swiss Army Knife of sport trucks.
