The Raptor also has unique cast-aluminum front control arms and SVT-tuned 35-inch BFGoodrich All-Terrain TA/KO 315/70-17 tires.

We’re working hard to get the trucks to our customers as soon as we can,” Mark Grueber, Ford F-150 marketing manager said in a release.
The SVT Raptor comes with a wide range of customization options, ranging from halogen lights and light bar to a tow kit and chrome, black or blue powder-coated cam covers (only for the 5.4l engined Raptor.
