When people say “Raptor,” they’re most likely talking about Ford’s off-roading F-150 and not just a bird of prey. Though in this video, the driver of this truck strays a little bit closer to it’s namesake than Ford might’ve intended. For the record, I have never seen an F-150 get air like this… ever.

That’s pretty much the only reason I can think of why someone would drop $300,000 on a used truck. Even if it was owned by president George W. Bush. Interestingly, Jay Leno took prodded […] More »
Yes you read that right. An Ecoboost Raptor. That might seem like a strange thing to build. I mean it’s not like Ford has any shortage of powerful V8 engines to slap into a custom truck.
