I'm talking about truck enthusiasts. 150s, also known as the best-selling vehicle in the United States since 1977, some of you may know that the Raptor has its roots in Baja1000, but did you know that underneath its reptilian skin it has a shocking ancestry? That's right, I'm talking about the Ford SVT. white lightning lightning flight damn look where you're pointing that thing thor chapter one the great storm of american trucks it all started in 1990 five years before post malone was born when chevy launched the 454 ss they built it on the same platform as you the chevy 1500 of the Grandpa, except this sleeper will stay with Grandpa, the 454 SS came with you, you guessed it, a 454 cubic inch V8 that produces 380 foot-pounds of stump-ripping twerks and 230 polished Herseys.

A year later the chevy boosted the baby's power to 255 and the turks to 405.

Yes, this truck beat the Ferrari car and the driver races a GMC Cyclone with an s against a ferrari 348 and the cyclone with a damn s and quickly became the world's fastest production truck at the motor company Ford were watching chevy and gmc having fun with all this performance and they thought having a halo truck of their own could only improve their lineup that spoiler alert little hint little omen and that's when Ford picked up the phone they were like svt yeah it's me , daddy

ford

look, I think it's time we polished up the old oval and the svts like uh, I think I have a couple of ideas, yeah, so in 1992, three years before Post Malone was born, the special vehicles team at Ford debuted the first SVT cars at the Chicago Auto Show, people were drooling over the SVT Cobra and Cobra R, both built from the Fox-bodied Mustang, but the damn ball hood was the lightning bolt.
SVT described as a Mustang GT with a cargo bed. This upgraded F-150 came with a high-performance 5.8-liter V8 engine that reached 240 hertz pers. It borrowed its cast iron cylinder heads from the GT40 and had big jets. And even with dual exhaust, the SVT Lightning marked Ford's first step into the performance truck market, and if Ford hadn't made the Lightning, we would never have gotten the Raptor. There will now be a full episode of updated information on the Ford Lightning. Coming soon, so we'll fast forward a little bit, but before we do, make sure to hit that subscribe button and the notification bell so you don't miss the lightning bolt episode because, uh, it's going to be fast forward to the In the early 2000s, Ford was preparing to launch the 11th generation f-150 and with it, svt would develop an entirely new lightning bolt, which was easier said than done.
I mean, the Ford SVT Lightning was at one time the fastest production truck in the world, so the pressure was on. Chapter Two falls big problem revealed at the 2003 Detroit Auto Show this polished looking horse had 22-inch wheels a sleek shiny roofline and plenty of vents while everyone on the floor was buzzing with excitement behind the scenes

ford

and svt had a little problem, the 11th gen f-150 was big, the engine, the brakes, the tires were bigger than ever and it didn't make sense from a performance perspective, I mean think about it, sports cars are small for a reason there was no way this new concept would ever work like the svt lightning above, so svt chief engineer jamal hamidi made a little lightbulb go on instead of trying to shoehorn a sports car into a truck, why not just amplify the truck's dna? and we all know what's in Ford's DNA.
I'm talking about the Baja 1000 Baby, a grueling off-road race that's been around since the '60s. Everything from motorcycles to buggies to big trophy trucks do their best to finish and Ford. I've been racing since year one, Ford Motor Company and Baja Racing go together like an episode of Up to Speed ​​and that guy who keeps asking for an episode of Up to Speed ​​about my dad, you can't have one without the other So with this new direction, SVT, was going to abandon the Lightning's sports car aspirations and return to Ford's rich off-road history. Little did they know they were about to create the OEM performance off-road truck market.
Chapter 3 a dinosaur in the dunes the 2008 sema convention showed a lot of very 2008 cars, the pontiac solstice gixx, a lot of hummer h3 versions and a smart batmobile, it was a strange time, well, that's when I turned most old, but just like in 1992, Ford once again had to endure a damn ball. nicknamed the svt

raptor

, that's how raptors talk, his brand new truck was almost eight inches wider than the original f-150 and came with big hot ol' fenders, it was painted a flashy molten orange like a fucking magma volcano that ate all the dinosaurs. Ford did away with the classic blue oval and instead opted for a large f-o-r-d across the grille.
The hood even had vents that looked like raptor scales. In reality, dinosaurs were much more similar to birds than lizards. very scary, the svt raptor came with 35 inch wheels which were huge compared to the lightnings, its base engine produced 390 ponies, but the thing about the raptor is that they like to hunt in pairs, that's right, ford had a second raptor and they called him raptor rr. For racing, this mostly stock racing version had a modified 6.2-liter V8 tuned to make 500 horsepower. Ford not only introduced two raptors at the 2008 sema show, but also announced that the raptor r would be leaving the las vegas scene and going straight down. 1000, that's crazy, yes, they had won eight of nine championships the year before and now they are entering a new factory vehicle and one of the most grueling off-road races in Ford history publicly put their reputation on the line, but their goal was...
To win another championship, their goal was to simply cross the finish line and show the world that the svt raptor was the top performance truck 24 hours before the start of the 2008 baja 1000, the ford raptor team of the Baja 1000 arrived in Mexico, they probably visited the boo fedora. spanish for the blowhole a beautiful natural wonder on the outskirts of ensenada where the water is thrown hundreds of feet in the air after sightseeing, they decided to give the raptor a test, the new truck launched into the sand like a pro until the engine died, guys, okay, no, that's right. 24 hours before the big race, they were up all night working and before they knew it, the sun was rising, the team was preparing to pack up and Ford's reputation was going to suffer, but then Ford's supercharged V8 6.2 liters of the Raptor R roared to life, one of the team members. touched the truck with tears in his eyes said life finds a way driver steve oligaze piloted the raptor r to a great start they drove it aggressively for hours and hours without a problem through steep and rugged terrain and flew at 100 miles per hour on the bed of a dry lake in the middle of the night 99 100. the other class 8 trucks fell like weak little flies and after 25 hours 28 minutes and 10 seconds the raptor team crossed the finish line and came in third place out of nine teams and if you consider Of those nine teams, only four reached the finish line.
I think you can say that the boys accomplished their mission. Ford had proven that its svt raptor could take you to work during the week and tear you through the dunes on the weekends, but in the end. Would people care about chapter 4, a truck sick of giraffes, two years after its discharge ended, the ford svt raptor was released to the public and in just 12 months, that's a year for all my math guys, You have nothing wrong, guys, are you an intelligent raptor? Sales topped 10,000 trucks, which is almost as many as the first-generation Lightning did in its entire production run.
It's safe to say people love dinosaur trucks based on the 12th gen f-150, you can get it as a two door super cab or a four door super cab. Super door team, came in black oxford white flame blue tuxedo and who could forget that the iconic molten orange lava is the second coolest thing in nature. First-year options included a 6.2-liter Triton V8 that made 411 prehistoric ponies and a smaller 5.4-liter V8, but that option died out the following year because, let's be honest, you don't get a high-performance vehicle. performance to get the small engine option. The top-tier Tippity Raptor sold for $41k, which was about $50k in 2020 money and honestly, it's a pretty fair price. for a four wheel drive street legal performance truck developed by svt don't get me wrong 50k is a lot of money it's a lot of money but most top tier luxury trucks today can go up to six figures if you think about it like that the raptor really has a lot of value just to let you know how badass this truck is.
The SVT Raptor is electronically limited to 100 miles per hour when driving off-road. 100 mils for off road meaning it can go over 100 miles. -road, if they didn't limit it, that sounds like a lot of fun and really scary with the release of the 13th gen f-150, we also got the second chin raptor, this time dropping the svt name completely and it was identified simply as the ford raptor. Looking more futuristic than ever with cool headlights and an even more pronounced grille, the updated dyno featured a 10-speed automatic transmission and an upgraded all-wheel drive system, long-travel Fox shocks, and a roaring EcoBoost V6. high performance 3.5 liter 24 valve twin turbocharged, easily one of the best production engines in recent history i love this stuff i want to put one in a mustang the raptor's new lightweight aluminum body was 500 pounds lighter than the first generation and when combined with the 450 hertz pers ecoboost and the massive 510 lb-ft of torque this truck rips, if you make a million dollars an episode like me and want superficial improvements, the improved performance is to equip Select raptors with some added goodies for 17,000, they'll put red wheel decals and embroidered leather seats, or you could accept that. 17 grand and buy a second truck like any of the trucks in this episode from list d.
I'm going to put the link in the description below, check it out after this video and if you don't have that kind of money for roush raptors. Ford got you back, they are offering a smaller truckwith similar performance to the full size Raptor and it's called the Ranger Raptor that's right the original Ford Ranger is coming back baby I love this truck with an all new Raptor package.
