For Sale: 2013 Ford Raptor in Arlington, Texas

2013 Ford Shelby Raptor

Despite being well known for the Mustangs and Cobras, Carroll Shelby had his hand in a lot of projects. He was truly a visionary and in the 80's saw a growing desire for adventure and off road capabilities combined with performance so started working with Dodge to make high performance trucks. This market only continued to grow and with the introduction of the Ford Raptor in 2010 Shelby American saw the perfect platform. The first Shelby Raptor was introduced in 2013 and they took an already powerful truck and packed it with their Shelby flare. This beautiful 2013 Ford Shelby Raptor is 1 of only 500 produced and is CSM# 13SR0021. There were 3 graphic packages available and this clean 4 door received the traditional GT inspired Red with White racing stripe and side stripes. Paired with the Blacked out accents the truck has a sleek yet rugged look that lets you know it means business. The front bumper features additional fog lights as well as a winch to cover all your off roading needs. In addition to the Shelby package this truck was taken up a notch with a Truck Hero Undercover to keep all your gear out of the weather. The tailgate also has a fold down step and hand rail to make loading all that gear easier. The Shelby wheels were an optional part of the package and this one was ordered with the Black Shelby wheels with Open Country Xtreme Toyo A/T off road tires.

This beast came with a powerful 6.2L V8 which Shelby engineers improved upon with their polished 2.9L Whipple supercharger. The modification boosted performance from 411hp to 575hp delivering all the power you could ask for. The original 6 speed automatic transmission with manual shift option was strong enough to take the change so Shelby then focused in on the handling and off road capabilities by modifying the upper and lower control arms, adding SVT shocks, and improved bushings. They also added in an oversized intercooler to improve cooling. The truck sounds awesome thanks to the Shelby installed custom Borla exhaust with chrome tips. The truck runs extremely well and with 72,370 original miles has a long life ahead of it.
