FR Raptor Prerunner - Q & A
1. Who is the FR Raptor XT customer?
Raptor XT customer is an off-road enthusiast or adventurer. Raptor XT customers may be racers looking for pre-running or hunters or fishermen that love the outdoors.
2. Where would someone use FR Raptor XT?
Pre-running, trail riding, hunting/fishing - extreme off-road applications where vehicle capability is important and occupant comfort is a consideration. Raptor XT is especially for those extreme customers who wish to go further, faster while maintaining high levels of comfort
3. What are the functional differences between FR Raptor XT and production F-150 SVT Raptor?
Production F-150 SVT Raptor is developed for both on-road as well as high speed off-roading; it delivers on that combined usage superbly. FR Raptor XT is a purpose built extreme off road vehicle that will have increased horsepower, lower gearing, front axle e-locker, offroad tires, bead-lock Aluminum wheels, and more suspension travel-all aimed at off-road usage. It will maintain most cabin creature comforts enjoyed by today's production F-150 SVT Raptor customers while delivering unparalleled levels of off-road capability for prerunning or outdoor adventure.
4. Can I race this truck?
FR Raptor XT is not intended to be a racing truck. Additional modifications would be required.
5. Can I drive this truck on the highway?
No, this vehicle is not for highway use. The VIN is replaced with a serial number. Additionally, customers will be required to sign an off-road use (only) affidavit - which documents use restrictions.
