Engine & Performance
This Special Edition comes with plenty of power with the 6.2 liter, V8 generating 411 horsepower engine. This 4 wheel drive pickup can move from 0-60 in just a tenth of a second over 7 seconds, not bad for a vehicle of this size.
The engine is mated with a 6 speed automatic transmission with the technology of “SelectShift” at your disposal.
Exterior
Once you get past admiring the paint job of the F-150 SVT Raptor Special Edition, you’ll notice the high intensity discharge (HID) headlamps. In between is a large flat black mesh-like grille that announces that this beast is a creation of “FORD”, prominently displayed in its center.
Moving to the side and once again having already taken notice of graphics, your eyes will most likely be drawn to the huge all terrain tires. The wheels feature Ford’s exclusive bead-lock capability to improve traction. With the Ruby Red paint job the black wheel fenders highlight the trucks strong profile.
Interior
The inside of the SVT Raptor Special Edition presents a play with depth perception created by the black and red color scheme mentioned earlier. The matte gray applications on the door panels and center console add a touch of luxury.
This vehicle affords you 10 way power seating with memory settings, a power tilt and telescoping steering wheel and a Sony audio setup including an HD radio. If this monster will fit in your garage, it even has a universal garage door opener.
