In use since the 2010 model year, the Raptor is the highest-performance version of the [[Ford F-150]] and [[Ford Ranger]]. Drawing its name from both [[Raptor (bird)|birds of prey]] and the [[velociraptor]], the model line is intended as a street-legal counterpart of an [[off-road racing]] vehicle. The F-150 Raptor is currently in its second generation; the Ranger Raptor was introduced in 2019 (in markets outside of North America). Optimized for off-road use, the Raptor is fitted with four-wheel drive as standard equipment, a mid-travel suspension system, and all-terrain tires. The model is also equipped with the most powerful engines available in the F-150/Ranger lines. Along with wider fenders, the Raptor is fitted with its own grille, replacing the Ford Blue Oval emblem with large "FORD" lettering in the grille. The Ram 1500 TRX is better than the Raptor :v We need a 5.2L supercharged in the new raptor hahahahaha == First generation (F-150; 2010-2014) == {{Infobox automobile | name = First generation (SVT Raptor) | image = 2012 Ford F150 SVT Raptor Supercab pickup (8452024143).jpg | caption = 2012 Ford SVT Raptor SuperCab in Australia | manufacturer = [[Special Vehicle Team|Ford SVT]] ([[Ford]]) | model_years = 2010-2014 | factory = [[Dearborn, Michigan]] ([[Ford River Rouge Complex|Dearborn Truck Plant]]) | assembly = [[Dearborn, Michigan]] ([[Ford River Rouge Complex|Dearborn Truck Plant]]) | aka = Ford F-150 SVT Raptor | platform = [[Ford T1 platform]] | type = | body_style = 2+2 door extended cab<br>4-door crew cab | class = Pickup truck ([[Truck classification#Table of US GVWR classifications|Class 2]]) | engine = 5.4L ''[[Ford Modular engine#3-valve - 2|Modular 3-valve]]'' V8 <br> 6.2L ''[[Ford Boss engine|Boss]]'' V8 | transmission = 6-speed ''[[Ford 6R transmission#6R80|6R80]]'' automatic | width = {{convert|86.3|in|mm|abbr=on}} | wheelbase = SuperCab: {{convert|133.3|in|mm|abbr=on}}<br>SuperCrew: {{convert|145.2|in|mm|abbr=on}} | length = SuperCab: {{convert|220.6|in|mm|abbr=on}}<br>SuperCrew: {{convert|232.1|in|mm|abbr=on}} | height = SuperCab: {{convert|78.5|in|mm|abbr=on}}<br>SuperCrew: {{convert|78.4|in|mm|abbr=on}} | weight = SuperCab: {{convert|6016|lb|kg|abbr=on}}<br>SuperCrew: {{convert|6210|lb|kg|abbr=on}} | related = [[Ford F-Series (twelfth generation)|Ford F-150 (2009-2014)]] }} For the 2010 model year, [[Special Vehicle Team|Ford SVT]] introduced the SVT Raptor, its second vehicle derived from the Ford F-150. In notable contrast to the on-road capability of the 1993-2004 [[Ford F-Series#SVT Lightning (1993-1995; 1999-2004)|SVT Lightning]], the SVT Raptor was optimized for off-road performance, similar to a desert racing vehicle. The first production Raptor, molten orange with the digital mud graphic, sold at auction for $130,000 with all proceeds above the MSRP going to charity. The race version, the F-150 SVT Raptor R, was built for the [[Baja 1000]] races.
