•Ford reveals SuperCrew version of its SVT Raptor pickup.
•The SuperCrew's wheelbase is a foot longer than that of the Raptor SuperCab.
•Raptor SuperCrew comes with a 5.5-foot box.
DEARBORN, Michigan — Ford is adding a SuperCrew edition of its F-150 SVT Raptor super truck for model year 2011. A 411-horsepower 6.2-liter V8 is the standard engine in the 2011 Raptor, which Ford bills as its "high-speed off-road performance truck." Ford dealers have started taking orders, with the first 2011 Raptor deliveries slated for later this year.
The new F-150 SVT Raptor SuperCrew is built on a 145-inch wheelbase — a foot longer than the SVT Raptor SuperCab. The Raptor SuperCrew comes with a 5.5-foot box, a larger 36-gallon fuel tank and increased towing capacity of 8,000 pounds.
New for 2011 is a Raptor Plus package that bundles a rearview camera and a trailer brake controller. The Raptor Luxury package adds folding power exterior mirrors and remote start for 2011.
Among the new standard features for 2011 on both Raptor models are a telescoping steering wheel, perimeter alarm, integrated spotter mirror, one-touch up/down driver and passenger front windows, 110-volt power inverter in the center console and a head restraint for the second-row middle seat.
Ingot Silver Metallic is a new exterior paint choice.

Out of Warranty
Practical it's not. Granted, the Raptor is appealing as a toy, but it is probably the most impractical vehicle on four wheels. Fifty K-bucks for a dune basher is a bit much, unless your trust fund has just cashed out. Who ever heard of a Baja runner with saddle stitching? The Raptor is for show.
Consider the things you would ordinarily use a pickup for, and unless your hobbies include a SCORE membership, this thing would be a nightmare to own. Weighing in at over three tons, requiring premium fuel, and getting about a dozen miles to each gallon is OK for a real heavyweight hauler, but for a vehicle that can haul only about 900 pounds or tow a measly 6,000, it's a lot of cash for the usual markers a standard 6-cyl F-150 will meet and give you back enough change to put yourself in a really nice Mustang GT to boot.
