Here are a few things that you guys may not know about the Raptor:
:beer:
Tires are not off the shelf BFGs. SVT worked with BFG to develop a
Raptor-specific tires that works well on road, sand, dirt, rock, and
snow.
The frame is the exact same frame found on the base F-150. However,
the suspension mounting brackets are different to accommodate the
sizable hardware Raptor uses.
Raptor is the first Ford-badged vehicle to have Hill Descent.
The off-road mode changes the ABS thresholds so that you can actually
build up dirt/sand/gravel with front wheel lock-up. This actually
decreases stopping distances off road.
This is the first SVT vehicle with no engine modifications for more
power. Most of the engineering on the Raptor went into the chassis and
drivetrain.
