Hellcat Replacement: SVT Raptor

Started my Raptor search almost 5 years ago and finally found what I was looking for. Traded in my Charger Hellcat on this 2014 SuperCab Raptor with 39K miles. 1,200 mile round trip that took 9 hours to pick it up and 8.5 hours to bring it home.

I've now gone from SVT to SRT to SRT and now back to SVT. Cobra, Jeep, Hellcat and Raptor. I have a problem...but Im going to leave it mostly stock. Has Roush exhaust and the Fuse 27 mod. From one 6.2 to another for daily driving!

Follow my Instagram below to keep up on it and my '74 Bronco restoration



Dealer put new Hankooks and new brake pads on it to certify the truck so it has a 12 month/12K mile bumper to bumper warranty and 100K mile drivetrain that's good for 2 more years.



Even stopped and had some fun in the random snow storm outside Deming, NM.

Wait... so 9 hours to go get it, 8.5 hours back...so the Raptor is faster than your Hellcat? lol

Ha! I even did a few final pulls on the way there:

I decided to skip lunch in El Paso so that saved me 30 mins. I was comfortably doing 84 in the 32° rain/snow in the Raptor and I would have been under 65 in the Hellcat on DRs lol. Timed that perfectly!

I do miss the power but I get to drive into potholes now rather than avoiding them. Pretty good trade off with our roads

I like the trade, congrats and enjoy.

Very different beasts, but I can see how you would like the Raptor over the Charger. The Raptor is a fine choice. Enjoy it.

Congrats and welcome back. Hopefully for much longer in a Ford

What is the fuse 27 mod ??

Woh you haven't done it? Ford has a TSB on it. The fuel pump fuse melts and leaves you stranded without any warning. Fairly simple process to move it to Fuse 70

Happy you are happy OP. A HC Charger sure seems like a damn fine DD to me, but hope you enjoy that Raptor.

Nice truck. I need to do the fuse relocation on my F150.

Nice choice! I swapped my 03 cobra for my 13 screw raptor and love it. A beast of a family car with major cool factor.

I like the swap. Dont get me wrong, I love a 4 door sedan that rolls out but I love being able to go anywhere in my daily. I'm not in a raptor but my trd pro is a very capable truck that I dont have to worry about. Good move

You posted that on the Raptor FB page? Looks familiar.

Nice buy.
Those trucks are hard to kick the habit from.
Might go for the 3 peat, but back in a screw this time.

You live in the perfect state to play with a Raptor.

I don't know that I could have done that myself, but congrats OP!

Nice Raptor! V-8 or Eco-Boost V-6?

What years does this affect?

I believe it's just the 11-14 5.0 and 6.2.

Thanks Steve.

The first batch of the 2010 Raptors had the 5.4L 3v
Then the second half of 2010's through 2014 had the 6.2L

Congrats man! Sick truck there. I also made the switch from muscle to truck and have been very happy with my choice. Too much fun has been had with the truck.
