raptor r finishes the baja 1000

[ON D BIT]

the events from this weekend are here...http://news.pickuptrucks.com/2008/11/the-f-150-rapto.html

stuck in the sand, broken skip plate attachment, broken leaf spring and perch, and a fan not running were some of the difficulties involved in this grueling 20hr + race!

the raptor r was running the stock axles, brakes, tranny and frame as the production ford svt raptors! :beer: job well done svt!!!!

They finished 3rd in the class that they ran in. I don't know where they ended up overall though.

Just finishing at all is a great accomplishment.

1st place trophy truck took 12 hours, Raptor took 25.

Baja's real easy, anyone can do it

I see that it was only 2wd? I thought the raptor was 4wd?

I see that it was only 2wd? I thought the raptor was 4wd?

The production truck is 4wd.

 

[GTSpartan]

The production truck is 4wd.

So do they run it in only 2wd, or completely remove the front diff?

In the link I believe they said they just left it in 2wd.
