<div style="text-align: center;"><small style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">2010 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor in Anza Borrego - Click above to watch the video <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/08/25/video-mt-gets-dirty-with-the-ford-f-150-svt-raptor/">after the jump</a></small><br /></div>
<br />After <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/08/24/first-drive-2010-ford-f-150-svt-raptor-is-a-diamond-on-the-roug/">spending a couple days</a> with the 2010 F-150 SVT Raptor in California's Anza Borrego desert, we came to the conclusion that Ford's SVT wondertruck is at least 15 different kinds of awesome. After all, how many SVT-badged, factory fresh rides come equipped with three stage Fox shocks, 12-inches of clearance and 35-inch BF Goodrich rubber? We can only think of one, and we drove <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/gallery/first-drive-2010-ford-f-150-svt-raptor/#4">it in orange</a>.<br /><br /><em>Motor Trend</em> also spent time with the Raptor at Anza Borrego, and they had cameras rolling on the ground and in the air. The 6:27 video is chock full of information about the Raptor, but perhaps more importantly, it's also filled with rolling footage of Ford's off-road super truck doing what it does best: tackle tough terrain. <em>MT</em> hits speeds of 75-100 mph while behind the wheel, sliding effortlessly across some pretty inhospitable environs. In the video, the publication's Ed Loh also tests out the Raptor's hill descent mode, which crawls down steep grades without the need to touch the gas or brake pedal. <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/08/25/video-mt-gets-dirty-with-the-ford-f-150-svt-raptor/">Hit the jump</a> to watch the Raptor tackle hill and sand at Anza Borrego, and if you're anything like us, you'll be looking for the nearest dune and any excuse to get behind the wheel of Ford's new desert rat rod. <br /><br /><br /><div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/first-drive-2010-ford-f-150-svt-raptor/low/">First Drive: 2010 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/first-drive-2010-ford-f-150-svt-raptor/low/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/08/2010raptor_firstdrive002_thumbnail.jpg" alt="2010raptor_firstdrive002" title="2010raptor_firstdrive002" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/first-drive-2010-ford-f-150-svt-raptor/low/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/08/2010raptor_firstdrive001_thumbnail.jpg" alt="2010raptor_firstdrive001" title="2010raptor_firstdrive001" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/first-drive-2010-ford-f-150-svt-raptor/low/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/08/2010raptor_firstdrive000_thumbnail.jpg" alt="2010raptor_firstdrive000" title="2010raptor_firstdrive000" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/first-drive-2010-ford-f-150-svt-raptor/low/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/08/2010raptor_firstdrive003_thumbnail.jpg" alt="2010raptor_firstdrive003" title="2010raptor_firstdrive003" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/first-drive-2010-ford-f-150-svt-raptor/low/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/08/2010raptor_firstdrive004_thumbnail.jpg" alt="2010raptor_firstdrive004" title="2010raptor_firstdrive004" /></a></div><br />[Source: <a href="http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/trucks/112_0911_2010_ford_f150_svt_raptor_drive/index.html">Motor Trend</a> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWzwAp72_Oc&feature=channel_page">YouTube</a>]<p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/08/25/video-mt-gets-dirty-with-the-ford-f-150-svt-raptor/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>VIDEO: MT gets dirty with the Ford F-150 SVT Raptor</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/08/25/video-mt-gets-dirty-with-the-ford-f-150-svt-raptor/">VIDEO: MT gets dirty with the Ford F-150 SVT Raptor</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblog</a> on Tue, 25 Aug 2009 12:29:00 EST.
