Ford’s newest pick-up, the SVT Raptor, turned out to be a very successful model (if you remember a while ago Ford announced the new 6.2-liter V8 version already received 3000 orders) and in true automaker style, Ford has decided to being out a SuperCrew version with four full-size doors. InsideLine was lucky enough to catch this newer version cruising Ford’s hometown roads in Dearborn, Michigan. It comes as no surprise that when InsideLine asked Ford about the new addition, a Ford rep responded by saying, "We do not comment on future product." That’s a big ol’ shocker. The current Raptor is only offered in SuperCab form, the name for the extended-cab with the little demi-doors. The SuperCrew version will carry the same suspension and powertrains, but will cost a little bit more than the SuperCab version. SuperCab, SuperCrew? In the words of Big Gay Al from South Park, that’s just "Super"! .
7 comments: Ford SVT Raptor will also get SuperCrew version A lot of ladies will love this car. IMO, ladies who drive a 4x4 car is much sexier than who drive a sports car.
 From the A- ar forward, the Raptor has unique sheet metal from other F-150s and is bereft of a Blue Oval badge in the grille. SVT widened the track by 7 in, and so its 5.5-ft box is unique to the Raptor as well. Height is up 2 in. over a standard Supercrew.
 While they probably need to do this to get more sales, the bigger size really defeats the performance of this model. I’d say the xtra-cab version is near perfect for a ’stock’ sand-stormer.
 I am not into trucks, but this could make me a believer. Fantastic offering. Ford is on a roll with some of the best and most unique offerings. I’m a fan. And, we just got a 2010 Fusion for my wife. The Fusion is perhaps the best value out there right now with current incentives and reliability history. Loaded with sport package and in red. She likes.
 I guess this is the first one that has the supercrew from ford, F150’s crew are almost half the full size door.
 IMO, it is way better than the F150. More aggressive and much fun to drive because of it’s body trim and shape.
