You guys at SVT did a great job. Thank you for making the SVT Raptor.
I have so much respect for you guys and Ford. You keep making America vehicles what they are
SVT is why I am a Ford fan!
Nice piece of art hanging on the wall in the background...
Naw man. Mad respect to both Ralph and Hameedi! Ralph makes mundane Chryslers/Dodges into monsters. He also helped keep the Viper alive. Give credit where it's due -- I'm a Ford guy.
I just got one on 4/20/2013. So happy with it it's my second one I also had a 2010
Jamal and Bruce you are geniuses, I am a fan, I think my many e-mails to Ford may have also helped a lot considering my statements have been paraphrased many times, like "more than a sticker and shock package" and a few more, I must concur with Jamal about about making the trucks lighter, I should be working there with you! keep up the good work.
i sooo want a raptor now...
I still love my Lightnings. But I wouldn't mind adding a Raptor to the garage
Can I have one please thank you
my favorite truck ever made
love that color to
henry ford would be proud great job guys
The right interviewee is also responsible for the 2013 Shelby gt500.
Bring back the Bronco, pretty please!
Even better, make it a Raptor Bronco.
And if I can have everything, make it available with a stick.
Funny how he said round trip at the end when in the beginning he was talking about fuel economy. I have no idea why they haven't put the Eco boost engine in this truck yet .
SVT should do something with the Explorer to give it some serious off-road capabilities, bring it up to Land Rover levels. OR do a bit of work to the 4 door version to make a next-gen Expedition or something seriously massive.
Jamal Hameedi, genius, the guy Ralph Gilles wishes he was, SVT over SRT anyday.
Looks like we have 1 Toyota fan here...
Still no dislike! because Raptor is the best!
To bad it is to big for my parking ;)
Because Raptor customers want V8s
how about adding a deceant winch
Soft, pleasant, onroad characteristics equals Mawl Crawler.
You claim this truck has the latest technology! Why don’t you use a better engine instead of the outdated 6.2L while you have the Ecoboost technology available?
