The Patriot is a fairly capable off-road vehicle but it’s catastrophically ugly and maybe that’s why they had to lower the price to tempt hatchback buyers who want something more practical!

2010 Ford F-150 Raptor selling like hot cakes!

February 21st, 2010 by Arman

With the new generation of the F-150 Raptor SVT, Ford has got the recipe for a perfect American pickup truck just right! Not only as a truck, the Raptor is so desirable as a car! Honestly, I’d rather have this high-speed off-road performance truck over most of the current sportscars.

And that’s why Ford is facing such a strong demand for it that they reckon the sales will beat even the most optimistic targets! Americans seem to like the new Raptor very much.

And what’s not to like! When it looks that good and is powered by a 5.4-liter Triton® V-8 three-valve engine delivering 320 horsepower and 390 ft.-lb. of torque. Mind you form Spring it’ll become just more fascinating because Ford is going to offer an all-new 6.2-liter V-8 engine, producing 411 horsepower and 434 ft.-lb. of torque for it.

“We couldn’t be more pleased with the popularity of the F-150 SVT Raptor,” said Mark Grueber, F-150 Marketing manager. “Orders have exceeded our expectations. The truck is so popular that we actually wound up building more 5.4-liter V-8 models than we had originally anticipated. The order banks are now open for the all-new 6.2-liter V-8, and the orders keep rolling in.”
