Border Patrol Raptor Spotted

FarFromStock · Jan 9, 2013

I was watching an episode of Border Wars on NatGeo tonight and caught a glimpse of a Raptor service vehicle. Cool to see that some of these agents are able to drive a truck that's worthy of the duties they are expected to perform.

Yea they have a few actually. They got them last year some time I believe. There's actually a thread on here about what happened to one of te agents that tried to do a little to much in one and got it stuck in a river and totaled it haha

Makes me want to join boarder patrol for a raptor. Plus this has to be the first time that an svt vehicle is government vehicle. Thats how you know you've built a good vehicle

make since really when you think that they use hi performance, meaning modified, vehicles that have to be built for them to do what the Raptor can already do out of the box. Probably cheaper in the long run with warranty etc. I'm sure they don't get all the luxuray package etc. when the order them.

No luxury package. I was actually told they came with cloth seats

They do come with cloth seats for service package. I saw a few of them this summer. Border patrol, forest service and fish/wildlife all have some. Still be cool to have for work, even with cloth!

who cares what seats it has?? ITS STILL A ******* RAPTOR!!! :signs8:

I know id take one over my tahoe... :emotions34:

I'd actually prefer cloth. I tried to order my raptor without leather but was told only government vehicles could get cloth. My raptor is my work truck, too bad it wasn't taxpayer funded lol

I could be wrong guys but, I think BP Raptors are the only ones with cloth seats. Seems like they have everything else our trucks have though. I spotted one about 80 miles off the Texas/Mexico border near Junction back in December. Here's the image I snapped from the road.

And here's the one the BP agents sank last year, not even 24hrs after it was released into general service. I don't think it even made it through a single shift.

Could'a used a snorkel there though the electronics would have been toast - cheaper to replace than an engine though. /chuckle.

So, wonder if anyone is going to make a snorkel?
