Before we detail the changes to the SVT Raptor for the 2013 model year, it might be helpful to review what makes this truck so special. Equipped with 35-inch all-terrain tires, internal triple-bypass Fox Racing Shox, SVT front suspension control arms, heavy-duty front and rear skid plates, upgraded brakes, and a Torsen limited-slip differential, the 2013 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor is powered by a 6.2-liter V8 engine producing 411 horsepower and 434 pound-feet of torque. A six-speed SelectShift automatic delivers motive force through a shift-on-the-fly four-wheel-drive system
Available in SuperCab and SuperCrew body styles with a 5.5-foot cargo box, the SVT Raptor is differentiated by a “brick wall” grille design that incorporates integrated marker lights, wider front and rear fenders capped by protective wheel arch trim, cast aluminum running boards, unique bed graphics, and lots of Foundry Gray trim. Inside, the SVT Raptor is equipped with sport-bolstered front seats, rubber floor mats, special accents, and a leather-wrapped sport steering wheel with a centering stripe to help the driver keep the truck pointed straight on challenging terrain
