New 6.2L Triton, Fox shocks with long travel suspension, over 11 inches of travel, and quite a bit of other cool stuff.

The production interior will probaly be much cheaper looking than that. And msrp I've heard figures from 45-60, so I don't think they'll be cheap, but those are just rumored word of mouth deals so I'm not really sure.

Pretty cool but I still think they should have made a Gen 3 Lightning :mad:

fox shocks, long travel type suspension, lockers, big motor and quite a few other things. it is supposed to be a mix between a lightning and race truck

yea that cv angle looks pretty sketch but who knows what engineers are thinking these days.

they also ran a stock one in the baja 1000 or 500 i cant remember.

correction:bassically make it a pre-runner.;) trophy trucks cost about 150 grand to make and have much more than 11 inches of suspension travel lol.

Yes, definitely no trophy truck....Trophy Truck/Trick Truck = 800+ horsepower, 36 inches of travel, etc.

Like said, more of a pre-runner setup then anything, but raceable(with some work) in whatever class it's fit into.

They ran it in the Baja 1000 and finished, on apparently a stock truck, just built with race equipment, and to race regulation(obviously)...thats gotta say something.

My girlfriends family is friends with a Class 8 (Ford Ranger) driver, Mike McCarthy....He's a big Ford sponsored driver, and is supposed to be getting a Raptor to drive soon. Be cool to check it out up close.

Is it just me or does the truck bed look really short? That's the only thing i don't really like.

BTW these will have the 5.4L with 320hp and 390 torque. Winter 2010 they will have the 6.2L with around 400 hp.

You can get them in Orange,Black,White, or Blue.

Has 4:10 gears with locking diff in rear.
comes with 35" BFG tires.

Yes it has a short bed 5'5".

Prolly the only F150 I would consider owning again.

just my opinion, but that ford emblom across the whole front grill is horrible. ford needs to get rid of that real fast. but i guess the owner can just put in a billet grill or honeycomb grill if they'd like.

other then that, truck looks dope.(Edited-first and last warning for drug references)
