Ford has unveiled a very cool new Raptor truck that
it has donated to the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) to auction off.
All the proceeds from the sale of the special truck will be given to the EAA.
The truck is dubbed the F-22 Raptor, named after the USAF fighter jet.
Typically Ford gives modified Mustangs to the EAA,
but the truck is a welcome departure. The special F-22 Raptor was designed by
Ford Performance and Design manager Melvin Betancourt. The truck gets a Whipple
intercooler for the 3.5L EcoBoost engine along with wheel, brake, and
suspension updates.
The engine mods push the power from 450 hp to 545 hp.
Other than the mods mentioned, the truck also gets a LED roof light bar and a
grille with a fighter jet silhouette, which is honestly the least attractive
part of the truck. The auction will take place on July 27 with proceeds
supporting the EAA youth aviation programs.
