Default Ford Raptor

For those of you who haven't had the pleasure to see one of Ford's new off road beasts here it is. The Raptor packs 411 hp and 434 ft-lbs of torque out of a 6.2 liter V-8. The most powerful production half ton truck today. Next year Ford is releasing a XT package that includes a 500 hp 6.2 liter, 6 speed auto trans, 15 inch front suspension travel, 18 inch rear suspension travel (fox suspension), beadlocks, racing seats with 5 point belts, chromoly roll cage, and it all comes with power everything and AC to boot. Rumors of a off the wall Mustang to go along with the Raptor are seeping through the cracks but nothing more has been released. Ford really stepped up on this one so here are some pictures of this years model. . .

Not a fan of FORD's but this one looks mean. Is the grill stock or an aftermarket add-on?

The grill is stock. Everything in the pictures exept for the 4th picture is completely stock. The 4th picture is what Ford popped in with at the Baja 500 and kicked off the whole truck into production today

Okay, that's pretty bad ass looking but not sure who will buy this monster, it starts at $38k to $45k.. I guess Ford trying to be the best at a certain, small, niche market that no one else really targets. They wanted to own the off-road speed market, whatever it is

Skrew the coors!!!! Break out the BUD LIGHT. I kinda thought the same thing but it's so cool lol. I figure only the few ''more fortunate" people will own one. Hope I get to drive one someday though!!
