This looks like a great cross between my Terminator and my Sierra 4x4 Flare Side. Could it be that I can have my sports car and truck in one vehicle? I am seriously considering but my Cobra would have to go which would be tough. However, I can only drive the Cobra 6 months a year and the Raptor is 24/7 and 12 months a year. Fog, Rain, Snow, Ice, etc. I am way interested in thsi truck.

What do you want to know? Check out F-150 SVT Raptor Sweepstakes. The specs on the 6.2L still haven't been released.

if price tag was under $30k you bet your ass i'd get one!

pockets just won't be deep enough when they come out

The ranger and the Cobra will be paid off in the next two years. After that I'll look into getting a raptor for a DD and just selling the ranger.

Most Lightning owners want a fast truck that still has hauling capabilities. This Raptor thingy is by far the ugliest truck on the lot.

the lightning does nothing a normal car cant do! whats the point of it? really taking a heavy work truck chassis and trying to make it a little bit fast is a bad idea from the get go. ask dodge? they found out the hard way!

There is a place for both but the Raptor does offer a more versatile package. If everyone lived in Cali or Florida the L would be a great year-round truck. Unfortunately, some of us live where it snows and some of us even like to go off-road every now and then. I tried to convince myself several times to buy a Lightning but just couldn't justify it. Too limited in use. I had a Ranger that I swapped a 5.0 into. It was a fun little truck but I couldn't use it for all the things I needed a truck to do. A Lightning would have been no different. Different strokes for different folks...

I thought it was a great idea. Some folks want a sports car but need a truck. This allows them to get that with the Lightning. I can run down to Lowes or Home Depot in the L and haul bricks, lumber, etc, and then turn around and run it down the quarter mile.

This will be my next truck!!!

HandoZiZle · 02-10-2009, 01:52 PM

It needs to be lowered

powersof12 · 02-15-2009, 08:21 AM

Anyone heard sticker price from the Chicago Auto Show. I think it started this weekend. I am thinking about taking a ride up just to see the Raptor but need to search around and make sure it is on display.

Add a set of AXiS Rims, Nitto Grapplers along with a Borla Exhaust and you have yourself one hell of a truck...

:4wheel burnouts in the dirt:

factory BFG A/T KO>>Nitto terra trash. Borla sounds gay on a truck too..you guys are going to have to change your line of thinking mods wise.

The Raptor does not just come with off the shelf BFGs either, they are unique.

since when did the superduty come stock with 35 inch bfg all terrains?

MoabB2 · 02-19-2009, 12:35 AM

The tires are SVT tuned. So while the tread appears the same, I imagine the rubber compound and internals of the tire are specific for this truck.

Are they filling them with SVT specified air as well?

meaty mac · 02-19-2009, 08:10 PM

Why all the comparisons between the Raptor and the L?

I sure hope so. I hear that stuff is the s*%t.

patrick_01svt · 02-21-2009, 07:06 PM

i think the idea of the raptor is a good idea but it isnt the truck for alot of people thats why i would love to see a new generation of the lightning and with svt building another truck i feel that is a sign of them building back up who knows maybe we can see a 6.2s/c powered lightning in the future. I for one would love to see both in my driveway haha
