SVT HISTORY
The Ford Special Vehicle Team (SVT) was established in 1991 to polish
the Ford Oval by creating low-volume, factory-produced vehicles
designed for those select few whose idea of driving is a high-powered,
passionate experience — not just a means of getting from point A to
point B.
In a move to support this spirited enthusiasm, Ford Motor Company
carefully integrated the wide array of talent in the company into a small,
cross-functional group of engineers and product planners, housed
together under one roof with a common mission: to create vehicles
specifically designed to meet the unique needs and desires of the
knowledgeable driving enthusiast.
Each of nearly 150000 SVT vehicles produced since the 1993 model year
has been designed and developed with the four SVT Hallmarks in mind:
Performance, Substance, Exclusivity and Value. These hallmarks have
driven the SVT Mustang Cobra and the Cobra R, the SVT F-150
Lightning, the SVT Contour, the SVT Focus, Ford GT, Shelby GT500,
GT500KR and the F-150 SVT Raptor.
We are proud and passionate about what we do, and we’re glad you have
made us your choice.

Note:Your F-150 SVT Raptor is equipped with unique front and rear
high-performance Fox shock absorbers designed for severe off-road use.
Due to the hydraulic motion of the shock fluid in the unique internal
bypass system, some noise during on-road driving including boom, chirp,
or clunk noises can be expected over small, sharp bumps such as frost
heaves, potholes, or expansion joints. This is a normal characteristic of
the shock absorbers and repairs should not be attempted.
