The Ford F-150 SVT Raptor is one of the coolest and most capable American trucks on the market, but it wasn’t really designed to fly.
Since Ford didn’t sell it with a sticker saying “not suitable for silly stunts” , one owner had to find out about it the hard way, both for his health and the truck’s integrity.
