2010 Ford F-150

First Look—For 2010, Ford offers more capability and features to its class-leading F-150 pickup. The big news is the radical F-150 SVT Raptor off-road version developed by Ford SVT (Special Vehicle Team). In addition, the Harley-Davidson F-150 returns. These new versions expand on the award-winning Ford F-150 lineup, which was completely redesigned for 2009.


New for 2010

Erase from your memory the F-150 Lightning, SVT’s tire-smoking sports car/pickup. For 2010, SVT went the extreme opposite direction with the F-150 SVT Raptor: A mogul-jumping, off-road desert runner.


Raising the number of F-150 models to nine is the Harley-Davidson F-150 edition, which features 22-inch-diameter polished, forged aluminum wheels, chrome exhaust tips and Harley-Davidson graphics and logos on just about every available space.


Existing F-150 models get a few new features, too. A chrome billet grille is available on the XLT Chrome package, a chrome mesh grille insert comes on the Lariat Chrome package and black tubular running boards are available on the XL Regular Cab and SuperCab.

Engines and Transmissions

The first F-150 SVT Raptors will come with the 320-hp, 390 lb.-ft. torque, 5.4-liter V8 offered in other F-150s. Available later will be a 6.2-liter V8 with approximately 400 hp that’ll launch the F-150 SVT Raptor into low-earth-orbit if you can find the right jump. Just make sure to nail the landing after reentry. In addition to the Raptor’s 6.2L V8 (which will come with a six-speed automatic), the 2010 F-150 is available with three engines, all V-8s: a 320-horsepower, 5.4-liter; a three-valve-per-cylinder 292-horsepower, 4.6-liter; and a two-valve-per-cylinder 248-horsepower 4.6-liter.
