Ford unveils new 2011 F-150 SVT Raptor

Detroit Free Press --
Ford will add a four-door crew cab version of its F-150 SVT Raptor off-road performance pickup for the 2011 model year.

In addition to the new four-door model Ford will make the previously optional 411-horsepower 6.2-liter V8 standard equipment on 2011 Raptors.
The Raptor is seven inches wider than a standard F-150 to make room for a seriously upgraded suspension for high-speed off road racing. The Raptor rides on 35-inch Goodrich all-terrain tires. The crew cab Raptor should reach dealers late this year. Picture received Sept. 2,2010 from Ford Motor Company

I wouldn't be surprised if it can get 20MPG on the highway too. Although with those big tires, I kinda doubt it is quite that high. But the standard F150 is getting over 20MPG on the highway. That was unheard of for a full size truck to get that far on a gallon.

It's absolutely amazing what they are doing with today's technology in engines.
