Official: Ford will build the F-150 SVT Raptor SuperCrew

Due to the popularity of the F-150 SVT Raptor pickup, which is applauded for its ability to run through deserts and crush almost anything in its path, Ford SVT has decided to create a SuperCrew version (with four full-size doors).

Previously, the Raptor had only been offered in SuperCab form (extended car with tiny doors). The SuperCrew version will carry the same suspension and power train and it is expected to go on sale this year for a small price premium over the SuperCab version. In Dearborn, several sightings have been reported of a completely blacked-out Raptor with black cladding on its nose and flanks and a cobbled-up bed cap.

The carrying capacity is only 1000lbs, so five 200 pound guys and a lunch pail and you are over loaded! This truck has to do three things to get me to buy it,
1)have a larger carrying capacity to at least 1,500lbs
2)have 6 seat capacity, like Doge's center console that folds down.
3)How about a small efficient diesel engine too? Or the direct injection ecoboost to improve the efficiency and power.

I like the crew cab better, I would also like to see an improvement in rear wheel travel and more than 1.6inches of additional front wheel travel, it should have at least 15inches of wheel travel in the front and 20 something in the back.

Sorry the Raptor has an additional 2.6 of front suspension travel, This is one of the first trucks Baja ready, you can turn the key and off to the races off road, very impressive.
