If you haven't heard the lowdown on the 2010 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor yet, take a few minutes to read Road Test Editor Josh Jacquot's report. You see, Josh is more of a car guy that a truck guy, but after a week in the Raptor he was sold. It's almost too much fun for a factory truck, yet you can order one from your local Ford dealer just like a Taurus.
And although Josh goes through the various upgrades added to make the Raptor, if you want a technical discussion of the new suspension design we have that too courtesy of Dan Edmunds, our Director of Vehicle Testing and a former OEM chassis engineer.

What a wild vehicle! I love the SVT stampings in a place not easily seen. You can tell Ford is really proud of this machine......as it should be. Now only if Cadillac made this in a CTS_V 1487 would like it.

Actually 1487 would probably say the current CTS-V is faster offroad than the raptor because it is like the Chuck Norris of cars.

Very cool... I would like to see some video of the off-roading done... not just the track test... a truck like this needs to be showcased in it's intended environment.
