IT's OFFICAL NO RAPTOR XT just talked to my inside guy

[Jake Y.]

The R wasnt even linked for what its worth, and i cant imagine ford selling a truck that was back-halfed already!

 

[HARLEY6LF250SDU]

Did Ford build "X" amount of the Lightning's and stop each year unlike the Raptor?

Yes, Ford did a Limited Build each year with the Lightning, Shelby's and Harley Trucks. BUT it was not the exact same # of units each year.

I have the year by year build totals somewhere?? I'll see if I can find info.

Do you know if they were going to back half the rear or keep the frame?

I would say no. Even the R used the factory frame, of course they probably had some modifications done to it but nothing crazy.

Yep.......I was going off the specs for the XT, said it was gonna be 4 linked.

I'd be interested in the cams. Other than those I don't know of any other cams out there for the 6.2

It was a "limited edition" truck, but not so limited as they only built 500 a year or anything. They'd target around 4-5k a year.

Gen 2 Lightnings:
1999 - 4,000
2000 - 4,966
2001 - 6,381
2002 - 4,726
2003 - 4,270
2004 - 3,781
TOTAL - 28,124

Same deal with Harley trucks....

Gen 1 Harley Trucks:
2000 - 8,197
2001 - ~6,500
2002 - 12,505
2003 - 10,047
TOTAL - ~37,249 (22,552 supercharged)

And while I do see HD trucks a little more than L's, they're still rare enough on the road that when you see one (or if you're driving one) you definitely turn heads, there's enough trucks out there to support a strong aftermarket, but not enough out there that it gets the reaction of "oh another Camaro SS/Mustang GT".

How many Raptors were built each year? I thought I read it was around 10,000 of them in 2010. Does SVT offer build # certificates for these trucks, and any 2011 guys have them yet?

Yes, they do offer certificates. Not until the end of the model year, after production stops.

0 ?

Really No race teams purchased a single unit ? Huh?

THANKS RANDY!

I need to create another file in my brain for storing Raptor build numbers by memory now lol

They're still building 2011's. I'd almost be willing to bet though that with the addition of the supercrew for 2011, that numbers will be slightly higher than 2010. Reputation was built after the year, additional cab configurations released that year appealing to a bigger market, and another year for people to save up after they decided one after seeing the 1st year.
