2012 FORD F-150 SVT RAPTOR: Further upgrades make the Raptor even more formidable

摘要

What could Ford's Special Vehicles Team possibly do to make the Raptor better? Ever since its introduction in 2009 as a '10 model, the fast Ford has been improved each year with upgrades such as the 411hp 6.2L V-8 and the SuperCrew body style, and SVT isn't ending that practice for 2012. In addition to several styling upgrades, the Raptor receives practical features such as a front traction aid and front-facing camera. The front traction aid, in this case a Torsen limited-slip differential, is a welcome upgrade and one that we have requested since we first tested the original truck, but a front-facing camera? Isn't that a bit gimmicky for Ford's halo truck product? Well, the Raptor team wanted us to experience it in person and flew us out to the red rock slopes of Moab to test the latest Raptor features firsthand.
