Well, it wasn't really a secret as Ford had already confirmed not only that they were building a 2011 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor SuperCrew, but that said super-raptor would only be available with the 6.2-liter, 411-horsepower V8 would be the only engine. Well, now that confirmation is official. Today, Ford released specs on the 2011 Ford SVT Raptor SuperCrew
Besides the addition of real rear doors, the only other visual difference is the Ingot Silver Metallic paint scheme. Unless you're keen enough to see the size differences.
The 2011 Ford Raptor SuperCrew has a wheelbase of 145.2 inches, up from the standard truck's 133.3 inch track. Overall length, too, is increased with the Supercrew stretching to 232.1 inches vs 220.6 on the 'normal' Raptor.
Curb weight is up as is, thankfully, payload. Get the SuperCrew and there's 1,030 lbs of payload vs 930 on the Supercab. The SuperCrew also has a maximum tow rating of 8,000lbs, that's 2,000 above the Supercab.
Just to up the weight, the SuperCrew gets a larger, 36 gallon fuel tank. The Supercab has to make do with only 26 gallons.
Interiors get spruced up with tilt/telescope wheels, one-touch driver/passenger windows, 110v outlet in the center console, remote start and a 4.2-inch LCD "productivity Screen."
No word on pricing yet, but the 2010 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor with the 6.2 costs $41,000. We expect the 2011 will cost more.

Between straightline and the long-term tests, I feel like there 8 posts a day about this truck...
It must take forever to fill up a 36 gallon tank. It would be especially awesome if you go to one of those great gas stations that make you hold down the lever the whole time you're pumping.

I guess I feel a little sorry for the Supercab buyers who would have bought the Crewcab model, if only they had known. Bigger inside, more payload, more towing capacity, bigger gas tank. Seems like a no-brainer to me. Then again, I am not a truck buyer, so I probably shouldn't be commenting on this post.
