Article on 6.2 Raptor.

Short summary:
...
"After a thoroughly enjoyable romp in the 2010 Raptor, it's clear why SVT wanted to launch the truck with this motor. Production delays with the 6.2-liter caused staggered cadence of the rollout. Now that it's here, it seems foolish to order the truck with the less powerful engine. As a matter of fact, the chassis proved so competent, we expect Ford or the aftermarket to come up with an even more powerful version. Ford insiders acknowledged the opportunity then went mute.

What Ford did confirm was that a crew cab Raptor was coming for 2011. The 6.2-liter will be standard. Bring it on, we'll be waiting."

"2010 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor 6.2
Engine: V-8, 6.2 liter, 16v
Output: 411 hp/434 lb-ft
Weight: 6006 lb
Towing Capacity: 6000 lb
Base Price: $41,020"

I would know more if I had mine. The last I knew it was on a train headed for KC.

I really like this truck - still wrestling with the idea of a car pymt though. Crappy jeep is free :)

I am happy to see the crew cab coming. I really need that with the kids but I'll hold off to see it before I put any orders in. The truck looks great as is but I'm sorry the $1K+ option for the "graphics pkg" which I assume is the stickers bugs me. Maybe there is more to it but I like it with out the stickers anyway.

The truck is so close but so far. I called Ford customer service and they said the truck is in Gilmore MO which is the Wentzville yard since 6/1. I pass that place when I go to work. I called the dealer and he called the mixing yard. They said that it isn't off loaded yet. So I guess I'll have to wait another week for it to go 45 miles to the dealer. I can walk it in less time.
