Here we are, just one year after Ford introduced its extreme off-roader, the F-150 SVT Raptor and the company is already announcing an upgrade for the vehicle. The most important changes brought by the 2011 model year are the addition of a SuperCrew cab version and the addition of a more powerful 6.2 liter engine.

The SuperCrew option adds 12 inches to the vehicle, coming with two extra doors and an additional set of seats in the back, as well as with a 5.5 foot box for the extra stuff.

Under the hood of all the 2011 Raptors, Ford will install a 6.2 liter V8 powerplant that replaces the 5.4 liter V8 unit used by the beast until now. The engine, which was previously only available as an option, delivers 411 hp and a maximum torque of 434 lb-ft. The beefier unit will increase the price of the vehicle.

Ford has also added other changes, with these targeting the aesthetic area. One example would be the fact that the Raptor can come dressed in a new color, Ingot Silver Metallic (the one you see in the adjacent image), with special graphics on the hood.

The interior has also been updated, receiving a new instrument panel that includes a 4.2 inch LCD display as a standard feature. The vehicle also comes packed with more standard technology such as a perimeter alarm, a 110 V power inverter installed in the center console and others.

The order books for the 2011 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor are already open, with the first vehicles scheduled to hit showroom floors by the end of the year.

You can get the full details of the car in the PDF press release bellow.
