The Raptor moniker was adopted by Ford for its lineup of high-performance and upscale pickup trucks and SUVs. Serving as the pinnacle of performance among the F-150, Ranger, and Bronco models, the Raptor has primarily been tailored and marketed for the US audience. Ford’s introduction of the F-150 SVT Raptor in 2010 marked its second offering based on the Ford F-150.
Engineered with a focus on off-road capability, the Raptor comes standard with four-wheel drive, a mid-travel suspension system, and all-terrain tires. It’s also equipped with the most potent engines available within the F-150/Ranger range. Sporting broader fenders and a distinctive grille design, featuring prominent “FORD” lettering in place of the Ford Blue Oval emblem, the Raptor stands as an emblem of Ford’s iconic F-150 nameplate—a nameplate that boasts the highest cumulative sales across its production history, surpassing all other automobiles globally.
The specific example we present has undergone extensive modifications, setting it apart from the typical F-150 Raptor SVT. After undergoing a right-hand-drive conversion in Canada, the vehicle made its way to South Africa in 2015 and was duly registered for local road use. From the factory, it inherits SVT performance enhancements including adjustable coilovers and SVT suspension sway bars. Customized additions encompass a winch, air compressor, ‘Baja’ styled front and rear bumpers, Mickey Thompson mud terrain tires, upgraded exhaust, supplementary lighting, an enhanced sound system, upgraded differentials, and Fox shock absorbers with reservoirs. Notably, a Roush supercharger has been integrated into the 6.2L V8 engine, elevating its output to around 700bhp. This F-150 Raptor SVT truly embodies a formidable entity, deserving an in-person encounter to fully grasp its commanding presence.
