Ford is putting the finishing touches on the new F-150 Raptor, but that hasn’t stopped PaxPower from announcing their 2021 Alpha F-150. Designed to be an extreme off-road ready pickup, the Alpha F-150 has an aggressive exterior with extended fender flares and 17-inch wheels wrapped in 35-inch tires. The truck also sports a ram air hood, a sports exhaust system and an exterior graphics package.
The changes continue under the skin as a
majority of the stock suspension components will be replaced by those from the
previous F-150 Raptor. The company says this includes the axles, control arms
and Fox Racing shocks with internal-bypass technology. The model also comes
equipped with the Raptor’s leaf springs, steering links and brake lines – among
other things.
The Alpha F-150 package costs US$ 18,950 and
the transformation takes approximately three weeks. However, customers can
order an assortment of upgrades including heavy duty steel bumpers which
provide additional protection as well as an improved approach angle. The
bumpers aren’t cheap at US$ 6,950 but they come with LED light bars which are said
to “last the life of the truck.” On the performance front, there’s a US$ 12,450
supercharger package for trucks equipped with the 5.0-liter V8 engine. It
enables the mill to produce 770 hp and 915 Nm of
torque.
Since most F-150 buyers don’t opt for the
V8, PaxPower also offers performance packages for other engines. In particular,
the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 can be equipped with a cold air intake, a larger
intercooler and a revised engine calibration. Thanks to these changes, the
engine develops 500 hp and 847 Nm of torque.
Similar upgrades can be applied to the 3.0-liter Power Stroke V6 turbodiesel.
There it increases the output to 400 hp and 827
Nm of torque.
