Default Return of SVT?

I know there's not a lot of blue oval love here, but this is pretty cool,

Ford F-150 SVT Raptor

Just in case you didn't know it was a ford, they spelled it out across the ENTIRE front of the truck.... Kinda cool, but the grill is just not my thing...

I hate ford, but the R&D they put into this is awesome. I think it looks awsome black

The only thing I don't like about the Fords are the lack of graceful body lines. They are big and boxy. Utilitarian, sure but I drive a vehicle for more than transpo.

I think the stance, flares and grill are ugly. I have checked out a couple interiors and they were nice but I just can't get past the boxyness to them.

really the only thing i don't care for on it is that piddly 5 foot box. IF it's even 5 foot. looks nearly useless. overall i think it's a pretty cool truck, sweet concept.

Definitely a nice effort by Ford but im just not a fan of their engines. Not enough power they need to throw a blower on that 5.4.

Its not designed to be a work truck so Im assuming thats why its only a 5 ft bed. Its alwasy nice to see the manufacturers trying something new.

some great features and 6.2 option and 4.10 gears standard are great. but I'm still iffy.
It's probably one of those designs that grows on you with time.

Saw this the other day. A Baja inspired truck will probably only sell well out west. Not much sand around here.

Glad SVT is back though!
