Posted by Mike Levine @ PickupTrucks.com | March 2, 2011

January was the best sales month ever for the Ford F-150 SVT Raptor off-road pickup, according to Marc Lapine, Ford F-150 consumer marketing manager, during the press introduction of the new 2011 SuperCrew Raptor in Sault Saint Marie, Mich.


"Over 900 Raptors were sold in the month of January," Lapine said. "We added another 740 Raptor sales in February."

So far, Ford has sold 1,072 Raptors from the 2011 model year (both SuperCrew and SuperCab trucks) and 8,614 Raptors from the 2010 model year.

Both SuperCab and SuperCrew Raptors are powered solely by Ford’s 6.2-liter V-8 engine (which debuted in the 2010 Raptor) that’s rated at 411 horsepower and 434 pounds-feet of torque. Pricing starts at $42,525 for the SuperCab and $45,290 for the SuperCrew.

We'll have our first drive review of the new SuperCrew model next week.
