Yesterday, Ford has introduced a new special edition of the F-150 SVT which adds some unique cosmetic touches to the Raptor's current Luxury package.
These upgrades include a bespoke Ruby Red Metallic exterior color and box-side graphics on the outside, along with 'Brick Red' seat bolsters featuring black inserts and cloth honeycomb highlights, console top finish panel as well as center stack and door panel applique accents, on the inside. The special edition is also available in Tuxedo Black Metallic.
Motivation is provided by the same 6.2-liter V8 engine which produces 411 hp and 588 Nm of torque, mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission with tow/haul mode and SelectShift Automatic mode. The four-wheel drive system features an electronic shift-on-the-fly capability for the transfer case.
"Raptor owners are looking for a high-performing, uncompromising off-road pickup truck with the features and luxuries found in today’s premium trucks," said Doug Scott, Ford truck group marketing manager. "Since its launch in 2009, we’ve continually moved Raptor forward in capability and design, and the 2014 Special Edition is the best Raptor yet."
The 2014 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor Special Edition will go on sale this fall, but pricing was not announced.
