<br />Packing more badass than a gang of werewolf bikers on mescaline, the Ford F-150 SVT Raptor does not require you to be a truck guy to appreciate its purpose. The bold styling, mile-high suspension and big V8 engine under the hood ensure the Raptor stands apart from the rest of the pick-up crowd. But now our man <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/11/04/video-ford-f-150-svt-raptor-explained-by-mike-levine/">Mike Levine over at PickupTrucks.com</a> reports that Ford could be considering extending the Raptor's passenger compartment to give it a full four-door crew cab.<br /><br />The news comes right from the mouth of F-150 marketing manager Mark Grueber, who revealed to Levine that FoMoCo has already received more than 1,000 orders for the new Raptor, but that they've come accompanied by requests from customers for a full crew-cab with four full-sized doors. The increased wheelbase would undoubtedly compromise the vehicle's off-road performance, but is Ford about to tell that to customers waiving fistfuls of cash? Guess we'll have to wait and find out.<br /><br /><br /><div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2010-ford-f-150-svt-raptor/">2010 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2010-ford-f-150-svt-raptor/1157253/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/11/fordsvtraptorpress_44_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2010-ford-f-150-svt-raptor/1157252/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/11/fordsvtraptorpress_43_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2010-ford-f-150-svt-raptor/1157248/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/11/fordsvtraptorpress_41_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2010-ford-f-150-svt-raptor/1157247/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/11/fordsvtraptorpress_40_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2010-ford-f-150-svt-raptor/1157246/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/11/fordsvtraptorpress_39_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><br />[Source: <a href="http://news.pickuptrucks.com/2009/06/ford-receiving-requests-for-crew-cab-svt-raptor-f150.html">PickupTrucks.com</a>]<br /><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/06/24/the-more-the-merrier-ford-considering-crew-cab-raptor/">The More, the Merrier: Ford considering crew cab Raptor?</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblog</a> on Wed, 24 Jun 2009 17:30:00 EST.
