Ford Factory Off Road Truck - Raptor

[Ron]

I'll be interested in the numbers on that 6.8 v8..
but 15" of up travel is damn impressive in a factory vehicle, looks like more of a dune runner than a rock crawler, but interesting none the less.

with 13.4 inches of usable travel in the rear suspension and 11.2 in the front.

where'd you get 15?

would probably be fun to drive, but it looks pretty

Interesting but I don't thinks it the type of vehicle to get Ford back in the black.

Hell once you get above 12" its all just window dressing anyway

It has IFS

It has IFS

Its not made to rock crawl, its made to hit the dunes.

Most of those have IFS...absorbs the bumps in the desert alot better when your flying across them at 110 mph.

Ghey!

It's an extremely impressive truck in person. I've spent time with both the R version and the Raptor pre-production that's in that video and I would say without a doubt it's going to be one of the most competent trucks to ever roll off of the assembly line.

It's a lot more than just a desert truck.

Hell yeah....Another truck that people cant afford. This is showing me they have a nice approach to asking Congress for a loan." We are going to take your money and build race trucks to run with the Mexicans".
Im impressed with the 2011 new Ford Diesel not this.

Four Wheeler has a decent article about that truck in the Jan. 09 issue

I'm waiting for the 2010 Bronco. Probably wait until 2011 for them to work out the bugs of the first year model.

for a ford guy like me, the grill is awesome

 

[JeepURE]

i like ford also, but that grill is

If Ford wants to sell some of em maybe they could use some bailout money to open up more public lands.....................yeh, that work as well as those would sell
