Ford SVT Raptor Exclusive First Drive!

I'm not sure if you guys know what i've been up to but I have partnered with the founder of Streetfire to start a new company called AutoStream where we run a series of internet shows.

Our first episode of Matt Farah's new "the Smoking Tire" is done (you may remember Matt from Garage419)

Here is the exclusive first drive of Fords new SVT Raptor

Nice vid, good luck with the new venture!!

How much hp do these trucks have? I'm really interested in this thing and can't wait for my buddy who's a Ford dealer to get one in.

around 330 I believe, not much...next year it gets a bigger motor (this thing would be bitchin with mid 400's). The suspension is nuts though....13" of travel

That's a badass truck, I'd take one in SVT blue.

The episode is put together very well, too!

It's got the looks down, that's for sure! This thing looks ready for some abuse! Does this have the 5.4L or just the 4.6 in it? Either way, it needs a Kenne Bell or Roush supercharger on it.
