2011 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor: Just as Much Badass, More Doors

So, you’d like to rocket across all kinds of terrain at excessive speeds, to take sand dunes in massive leaps and come down gracefully, to plow through mud at triple-digit speeds…and you’d like to bring along friends.

Ford hears you.

The SVT Raptor (read “the most insane pickup truck ever built”) has been on the market for a full year now.  It’s due for a second edition soon.

The 2011 Raptor, we’ve learned, will have the same comically over-engineered suspension that made the original a legend.   It also gains two doors, with a crewcab version that is 12 inches longer than the original.

It loses something, too.  The 5.4-liter V8 will no longer be available.  In 2011, you can buy a Raptor only with the more powerful 6.2-liter V8.   A new color, called Ingot Silver Metallic, and a new set of matte black hood graphics will also be offered.
