A regular F150 couldn't do this at 80mph without sending the shocks through the hood... Look how stable the body is and the woops are at least 2ft high or more..
Ya id be scared of doing that, or any where close to that in my truck.

Cant wait to see more on the Raptor

I wonder what else is hiding under there...
that is not two shocks, its the Reservoir to the shock you're seeing.

I would not call the 6.2 dead. Sure it was said it was, but so was the raptor itself. But alas it lives. Same as SVT, they have been dead for how long? Now out of nowhere there are building this monster.

That thing is kick ***. I love it. Ford need a new badass vehicle like this to help its image right now IMO, and SVT needs a new truck.

I don't think Ford said the 6.2 was dead, it was just going to be really limited in where it would be used. Might me option for SD and special edition F150s.. Raptor and Harley perhaps. Maybe eventaully Platinum? Mark Fields said fuel economy results did not meet goals so it may hit applications where that is not a top priority.

You are so right.....Ford never said it was dead just going to use it in special edition F150s. So this truck should have the boss 6.2 in it. Ford spent way to much money on the boss 6.2 enging not to use it in something.
