Ford F150 SVT Raptor to return

[Fordman1981]

Assuming a 3' wide 12" high bump with 1.5' of ramp up, at 60mph (88 feet per second) the suspension has 0.017 seconds to absorb the 6" of uptravel and then transfer the other 6" to the truck. Someone did the numbers on it, but that is a lot of force to absorb in a hurry. Aaron Z

I wouldn't do what they were doing with their trucks either but don't think the frame should be the weak link. The hole in the frame and it not being boxed where it bent is a big issue.

Got the truck back today that had leaked out it's tranny fluid, they got the part way earlier than estimated and there was no charge after all.

450 HP from a 3.5 liter and a 10 - speed transmission. Jealous.

Wonder if this is the new setup for the 2016 Bronco... if it is ever produced ?

If it is I'm getting one on the 1st day it hits the market.

I'm thinking on it... Should be something by mid year and from the web there should be a Raptor version.
