2011 FORD F150 RAPTOR 6.2 V8 REVIEW by AutoTopNL

**The Ford F-150 Raptor: A Beast of a Truck**

The Ford F-150 Raptor is truly a magnificent vehicle, and I'm excited to share my experience with it. As you can see from the double cab design, this truck is massive, but that's exactly what makes it so impressive. The larger cabin provides a bigger Kevin, allowing for ample space and comfort for both driver and passengers. One of the most innovative features of the Raptor is its foldable seats, which create a massive stowing area when folded up – essentially another trunk at your disposal.

Inside the truck, I noticed that it didn't come with any SVT or Raptor-specific trim, so we were treated to a standard interior design. However, the Raptor still has plenty of features to make it feel like a serious off-road machine. The controls for hill descent control, off-road mode, and auxiliary switches are all present and accounted for, allowing drivers to customize their experience to suit their needs.

As I started up the engine, I was greeted by the deep, rumbling sound of the 6.2-liter V8 – a true beast of an engine that pumps out 411 horsepower and 588 Newton meters of torque. The exhaust system is specially designed to bring out the best in this powerful engine, producing a truly deafening roar that's sure to turn heads.

Taking the Raptor for a spin was an exhilarating experience, with its massive size and weight making it feel like a full-fledged truck rather than just a car. While not exactly super fast, the Raptor moves briskly, thanks in part to that mighty V8 engine. I must admit, driving this thing is a lot of fun – it's like having a lorry at your disposal!

One of my favorite features of the Raptor is its ability to tackle tough terrain with ease. The built-in Baja racing heritage shines through in its suspension system, which features folk shocks that provide exceptional stability and control. And let's not forget the four-wheel drive system, which offers both two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive modes, depending on your needs.

As I drove through various landscapes – including a scenic farm road – I couldn't help but feel impressed by the Raptor's capabilities. The sheer size of the truck means that you can see everything around you, making it easy to navigate even in tight spaces. And while it's not designed for serious off-roading, the Raptor is still more than capable of handling everyday driving duties with ease.

**Driving Experience**

Getting behind the wheel of the Raptor was an experience unlike any other – especially when you consider its size and weight. The pedals are moveable, allowing drivers to fine-tune their shifting experience. I also appreciated the auxiliary switches that can be connected to add features like winches or light bars. These switches proved particularly useful in controlling various systems within the truck.

As I shifted through gears, the deep rumble of the V8 engine accompanied me on my journey – and what a sound it is! The exhaust system really brings out the full potential of this powerful engine, making every shift feel like a triumph.

Driving at high speeds was exhilarating, with the Raptor's massive size giving drivers a commanding view of the road. And while not exactly designed for long-distance cruising, I found myself enjoying the experience immensely – there's something special about driving a truck that's meant to tackle tough terrain.

**In Conclusion**

The Ford F-150 Raptor is an incredible vehicle that truly lives up to its reputation as a serious off-road machine. While it may not be perfect, with its massive size and powerful V8 engine, this truck offers unparalleled capabilities for those who dare to drive it aggressively. Whether you're tackling rugged terrain or just cruising through the countryside, the Raptor is sure to put a smile on your face – and maybe even intimidate those around you.

6.2 on the side and of course we've got the Fox shocks at the rear you can see them right there I'll try to put my head in there this is how much room there is here so these folks shocks triple bypass valve shocks they have 12 inches of suspension travel so you can actually jump this car although please don't do it too much because a lot of these first Raptors snapped in half so apparently the new Raptor is better to jump this car also has a magnaflow exhaust so it sounds a little bit better Raptor SVT at the rear as well we can also open this so you've got your loading bay your bad your truck bed and if you want to load some stuff in here but you don't want to strain yourself too much you can actually pull out this little step and have this handle right there so you can go like that and

actually also fold this up so if you do that with both seats you have this massive stowing area it's it's basically another trunk right here which is pretty cool I love how these cars are also practical okay so on the inside there isn't a whole lot of SVT or Raptor either so we've got Raptor on the seats and down here you've got a little Raptor SVT control panel with your hill descent control your off-road mode and for auxilary switches which are there to connect you know if you want to add like a winch or a light bar or stuff like that you can add them to these auxilary switches we don't have anything connected I think so let's start it up as I said we've got that magnaflow exhaust so this car is actually a little bit louder than stock a little bit deeper more v8 sound which is really awesome let's take it for a drive and I've got one more cool thing to show you guys this car actually has moveable pedals like the new Ford GT those pedals move that's really cool okay so gear leaver into drive and let's go this car is so freakin big it's ridiculous I rented an f-150 in Canada when I was there on holiday and it felt like a normal car it felt like a regular car but out here I mean this is like a regular car here and this is freaking three times as big it's like driving a truck well it is a truck but depriving like a lorry alrighty so other than the massive size oh I love driving cars like this oh dear of course we've got that 6.2 liter v8 with 411 horsepower 588 Newton metres of torque it actually has a little more power thanks to that exhaust so 416 I think which is dope bad at all get my mirrors right so but but it's not really about that you know is it fast no it's not really super fast it's it's nice and brisk I mean it moves it's like twenty-seven twenty-eight hundred kilos this car so it's very very heavy oh man I love Raptors the fact that for built this and and just decided to put some crazy hardware like those folk shocks on there and I built this like Baja racing truck is just awesome and the fact that everyone just bought them they sold like a lot of Raptors so people really love them so now with the new f-150 and a new Raptor for invested a lot more money into the Raptor because you know they they knew they were going to sell a lot of them because people absolutely love them and they are serious cars you know we have two-wheel drive four-wheel drive high gearing and four-wheel drive low gearing right there on the selector you don't really have a lot of like margin for error once you go a little bit to the right or a little bit to the left you're basically on this Lane or on this bicycle lane the sound is really good you have that low bellowing v8 you can actually see people looking at you like what the hell are you doing here with that thing but driving it here it is yes it's very big as I said but it's not really intimidating because you sit up really high so you have a good view of where everything is you have a good view of where other people are of course so it's not difficult or anything it's just you have to get used to it and you have to always be aware of the fact that you're driving like a truck and you have this big bed behind you we can also open the little window in the rear of course almost forgot that so that little window is open now and we can shift with this button right here on the gear lever so we'll go down to fourth gear third gear second gear why not full throttle shift that is nice that's a good sound there we go shift now yes so of course this is like nowhere near the capabilities of this car you should just take this car into the desert or you know do little jumps with it but we just don't have that here it's just farmlands and all this stuff belongs to someone it's I can't really just drive in here and have some fun or like down here because that's someone's property so not going to do that I know that this is not really what this car is made for but it's
