2010 Ford SVT Raptor: the post-apocalyptic pickup :)
Now we're talkin'....a Ford truck made for the Zombie Wars
From the Detroit News.....
Ford's F-150 Raptor can handle any on-road or off-road task
The world may be going to small cars right now, but when civilization ends, you need to hope there's a 2010 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor in your driveway.
It's uncivilized in all the right ways.
Post-apocalyptic life will require a gun-running, off-road monster able to handle the daily chores of killing off the infected, scouring for food in impassable areas and rescuing friends from certain death and destruction. Try that in the Ford Fiesta.
The Raptor can transform almost anyone into an action hero. It's muscle and power and tough and beautiful. It's in your face like a bouncer at closing time, and it's meaner than a drill sergeant during the first week of boot camp. But when you end up on a dirt trail, this truck rewards you with absolute horrifying fun.
You don't take this truck to work, you take it to war. Work is just there so you can afford a good stockpile.
This is the kind of turn-key performance off-road beast built to fly over bumps and humps and stumps, while shooting zombies out the passenger window. Secretly, about half the people in the world want to be among the 1 percent of the population to survive a nuclear blast, meteor strike or deadly virus. Ask any guy.

But this is not simply a hot rod with big wheels (though it is that,too). The Raptor can tow 6,000 pounds of canned goods and ammo, as well as haul half a ton of soylent green in the bed. The truck includes Ford's trailer-sway control to help keep a heavy load steady. The system can detect when a trailer is starting to move side-to-side and take counter measures to dampen the movement.
There's also a standard electronic brake control in the cabin to assist the driver and ensure smooth stopping. (Ford also offers its slightly geeky looking but very functional tailgate step for those who dislike crushing their knees climbing into the bed.)
Day-Glo cockpit
If you think the exterior is outrageous, step onto the aluminum running board tucked up tightly against the body (for better clearance) and hop into the cabin. It's like someone exploded an Orange Julius claymore inside -- you could lose your night vision just looking at it.
The center of the dash radiates in bright orange and the leather seat inserts have a matching half life. But just like seeing in the dark, it only takes a few minutes to adjust and then everything looks perfectly normal.
