The F-150 SVT Raptor launched in 2010 as a dedicated off-roader. It was powered by a 5.4L (330 CID) engine, with a 6.2L option. The 6.2L (379 CID) engine has 411 horsepower (306 kW) and 434 ft•lbf (588 N•m) of torque. The suggested retail price was $3000 over the 5.4L model. A six-speed automatic is standard. It has Fox Racing Shox internal bypass shocks with external reservoirs which allows for 11" of suspension travel in front, and 13" in the rear. It will come standard with 35" BFG All Terrain tires, and a 4.10 ratio locking limited slip rear axle. Also, it will be available in solid black, white, blue, and orange with a "digital mud" decal scheme as an option. In August 2010, Ford announced the 2011 SVT Raptor would be powered exclusively with the 6.2L V8 as the only engine choice. Other notable changes to the 2011 SVT Raptor include availability in a 4 door Super Crew cab and a new color option Ingot Silver Metallic making the Raptor available in a total of five colors. The race version, F-150 SVT Raptor R, was also built for the Baja 1000 races. It uses a 6.2 L engine rated at 500 hp. The first production Raptor, orange with the digital mud graphic, sold at an auction for $130,000. Ford donated all proceeds above the MSRP to charity. In 2008, Ford announced its intention to enter Baja 1000 race class 8 race. The race team consisted driver of record Steve Oligos and co-drivers Randy Merritt, Greg Foutz and Bud Brutsman, competing in class eight for moderately modified full-size pickup trucks. The vehicle was built in collaboration between the Ford Special Vehicle Team (SVT), Ford Racing, and Foutz Motorsports Inc. Ford F-150 SVT Raptor R completed the 2008 41st Tecate SCORE Baja 1000 race in 25:28:10, or 3rd rank within the class. In Best In The Desert race series, F150 SVT Raptor R completed the "Terrible's 250" race in overall 2nd place in Class 8000.

Analysts estimate that the F-Series alone makes up half of the Ford Motor Company’s profits in recent years[citation needed]. In the tenth generation of the F-series, the F-250 and F-350 changed body style in 1998 and joined the Super Duty series. The facts are clear: The Ford F-150 can haul more cargo and tow a heavier trailer than any of its competitors.* And F-150 has a fully boxed frame that's the strongest in its class.* Engineered and tested to withstand more punishment than your most difficult tasks can subject it to, the F-150 is Built Ford Tough to come through with the dependability you expect in this full-size pickup. And this, at the end of the day, is what capability is all about. The 2011 F-150 delivers best-in-class trailer-towing capability. The first-in-class, available fully integrated Trailer Brake Controller (TBC) synchronizes the vehicle and trailer brakes to provide greater control and confidence. The frame beneath the F-150 features fully boxed high-strength steel and through-welded crossmembers that form the foundation for being Built Ford Tough. This advanced technology uses reduced engine power and selective wheel braking to help you maintain control. When engaged, the available Electronic Locking Rear Differential locks the axle completely to provide maximum traction at both wheels at the same time.
