Ford Raptor XT Gets Baja Treatment for SEMA

Ford_SVT_Raptor_R

When you’re stuck in the deserts of Baja California a regular Ford Ranger won’t cut the dunes. But now that Ford is taking on sand with the Ranger converted Raptor XT you will never be trapped searching for an oasis again. With its enhanced front/rear suspension and 37″ BFG Baja T/A tires the only obstacle is its $99,950 price tag.

There are no official photos of the 500 horse power Raptor XJ (above is the regular Raptor SVT) but still, Raptor XT comes with a host of “very serious off-road racing upgrades over the already crazy-capable Raptor” including:

* 500 HP version of Ford’s new 6.2 liter V8
* Full 4130 chromoly roll cage
* Coilover four-link rear suspension with 18″ of wheel travel
* Fox Racing tuned front suspension with 15″ of travel
* 37″ BFG Baja T/A tires with bead locks
* Tubular bumpers
* Auxilary light bar
* Front locking differential in addition to the standard rear locker
* Factory five point harnesses and racing seats
…wow!
