The Ford F-150 SVT Raptor was launched back in 2010 and since then it has made an impressive benchmark in the automotive industry in terms of low- and high-speed off-road performance. Its features, for instance the aggressive all-terrain tires, industry-exclusive internal triple-bypass FOX Racing Shox™ dampers, skid plates and standard Hill Descent Control™ made it irresistible for those who seek one-of-a-kind driving experiences.
In addition, the Torsen® limited-slip differential which is added to Raptor's 4WD system enables the vehicle to keep the balance traction between both front wheels. What is more, beadlock-capable wheels are also featured here. Their role is to enhance the grip in low-traction conditions.
Next, the high-intensity discharge headlamps help the driver have better visibility of the road. SYNC® with MyFord Touch®was on the other hand offers connectivity. More importantly however is the exclusive 6.2-liter V8 engine under the hood of this beast.
It generates 411 horsepower (302 kW) and 434 lb.-ft. (588 Nm) of torque and is matched with an electronic six-speed automatic transmission with tow/haul mode and SelectShift Automatic® functionality. The 4WD system features electronic shift-on-the-fly capability for the transfer case.
