I'm sure many of you have heard about this off-road, trophy truck coming from Ford, but it is rather difficult to find a picture of it on the internet that aren't spy shots. According to a F150 raptor website it should have fords new 6.2 with an estimated 420 horse. Its going to be wider and lower then a regular 150, but has 12 inches of travel compared to the fx4 counterpart. Sounds like a neat truck

Well, I happened to stumble upon a "special" raptor in the new dupont registry, and what an amazing vehicle it was. They called it the off-road supercar. This "special" f150 comes with a roush 427 cu race motor.:hottubfun: The paint was impressive, obviously high quality with an agressive yet luxurious look. The price for it was $650,000. A little steep for my pocket book. It has Mercedes AMG hand stitched leather seats, Rolls Royce carpeting, and the inside looked on par with something Aston Martin would put together. The only difference is this will easy run 140+ mph over dirt, sand or whatever you are ballsy enough to drive it over. It has an 85 gallon fuel tank that they expect 500 miles out of (im assuming while wide open across baja). I can't remember everything it had in it, but if you happen to be at your local walls, safeway, kings or whatever, flip to the middle of the new dupont. It has a full page. Definitally a truck that needs to be seen. Makes me anxious for what will actually go out into production. :icon_bounceblue:
 
I don't know about the F-150 but i seen the new mustangs under the funny spotted camouflage with manufacturer plates running around Ypsilanti yesterday on hwy 14. I didn't notice any body changes and they were going to fast to snap off a pic. changes must be to the power train or the interior.
 
Now they need to apply some of that technology to the Ranger......................
 
Kind of ugly, but damn I'd love to take it offroad!

Whoa! And they really called it a supercar. I hope you got a photo of it so we could really see if it deserves the name "supercar".

Most everything you want to know, including videos. I am really really looking forward to this truck and seeing how it performs. Might be interested in picking me up one soon. I have been following all the information I could on this truck since i first heard about it 2 years ago
 
New Four Wheeler has the first official press release on the truck. Will debut in '09 with approx. 12" of travel all around, Fox shocks, and widened track width. Will launch with the standard 5.4 V8 but by the end of '09 will have the Boss 6.2 as an option with over 400 horsepower. It's a good read.
