Video: Ford F-150 SVT Raptor Takes On Hell’s Revenge Trail

Ford’s Special Vehicles Team, or SVT, has been very busy in the past year. The most recent and prominent news of course is that of the 650 horsepower, 200+ mph 2013 Shelby GT500 Mustang. But SVT has also been working its magic on the 2012 Ford F-150 Raptor, which came with a host of new upgrades including a Torsen differential and a front-mounted camera for 2012.

While we’ve seen plenty of videos of the F-150 Raptor flying through deserts and over high jumps, it turns out this brute of a pickup is capable of climbing some pretty badass trails too. And with a name like “Hell’s Revenge Trail,” which sits in Moab, Utah, you know this is one mean road.

In fact, Hell’s Revenge is one of the toughest off-road trails in the country, with many obstacles well beyond the capabilities of stock vehicles. Then again, for a factory-built pickup, the F-150 Raptor is well beyond a “stock” truck, able to take on steep inclines like the Belly Button Hot Tub, and narrow valleys like Hell’s Gate.

Unlike previous F-150 Raptor videos from Ford, there isn’t a lot of fast-paced action; this is a slow crawl, showing how the F-150 handles the many different aspects of off-roading a treacherous trail like Hell’s Revenge. And we have a whole new respect for just what the SVT team, and the F-150 Raptor, is capable of.
