    I love it too, especially the front end. Very cool truck. I read this article and it sounds like a killer package including a locker that can be locked at any speed.

    After taking a third place in its class in the Baja 1000 last November, the Raptor-R pickup will be entered in the 2009 "Best in the Desert" series of five off-road races. The truck will be a private entry, although Ford engineers will be keeping an eye on the truck.

    Chrismc,
    What day did you take this pic? I was at SEMA Wed-Fri and I didn't see this one...I saw the "stock" version. I heard rumors from a friend of mine that the rear end under the race truck still had the shipping info on from our buddy Sandy to where this truck was built.

    BTW, the truck got 3rd in Class 8 (which is one step below Trophy Truck). It was supposed to race in the Stock Full Size (which keeps everything factory stock...minus the shocks and a roll cage). Third place is pretty damn impressive! Shoot finishing is pretty damn impressive!

    I like it! It's pretty darn cool in person!

    I don't get it....
    Dodge builds the Power Wagon...cool
    Ford builds the Raptor...cool

    Toyota builds...the Rock Warrior....seriously?, no sliders, no real skidplates, no locker....how does that make me not want to buy a Raptor?

    Coolest truck from Ford in a while. I'll wait for one with the bigger engine though.
