First Look: Ford FR Raptor XT Pre-Runner at SEMA With Video

If the 2010 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor isn't extreme enough for you, even after its receives its new 411 horsepower, 434 lbs.-ft. of torque 6.2-liter V-8, then Ford has an even tougher and more capable version of the toughest factory off-road pickup on the planet. Ford is going to build a limited production run of 50 FR Raptor XT pre-runner pickups with a sticker price of $99,950.

What do you get for almost $100,000? You get a truck that's almost as race ready as the 500-hp Ford Raptor R, which raced in the 2008 Baja 1000 and has been competing in the 2009-10 Best in the Desert offroad racing series.

The Raptor XT is expected to get an almost identical version of the Raptor R's 6.2-liter V-8, with the same 500 hp, and like its professional racing twin, the XT will come from the factory with a standard Chromoly “4130” roll cage, five-point restraint racing seats, beadlock wheels, tubular front and rear bumpers (good for nerfing!) with integral lighting and an extra electronic locking differential for the front wheels in addition to the rears.

Running gear changes haven't been finalized yet, according to Patrick Hespen, Ford SVT spokesman, but the Raptor XT's long-travel suspension will improve upon the standard Raptor's internal bypass shocks. A standard F-150 has 8.5-inches of travel in its front dampers, the F-150 SVT Raptor has 11.2-inches of travel and the Raptor XT will have an amazing 15 inches up front. In back, the Raptor XT is expected to lengthen travel from 13.5 inches to 18 inches. It also adds a four-link rear suspension to keep the back axle planted over the worst desert whoops and jumps.

The FR Raptor XT won't be street legal, even though it will have a full featured interior that includes power windows, a front windshield and air conditioning.

We're hoping the military doesn't snag the first 49.
