2010 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor



























































































The F-150 is still Ford's most dominant cash cow, and releasing a super hot off-road version will bring buyers into the showroom who may just walk away with a bread-and-butter F-150 truck and a lot of great ideas.
Putting 310 free-breathing V8 horsepower to the dirt are BF Goodrich All-Terrain TA/KO 315/70-17 tires with giant tough very non-stock looking sidewalls. Electronically controlled throttle and gear responses have a dedicated off-road mode for eating up the Rubicon.

While Ford may not sell too many expensive F-150 SVT Raptor trucks, the trickle down effect to Ford's entire truck lineup cannot be underestimated. This is an off-roading machine that is done right, and is ready for just about anything its driver can throw at it.
