The big 411 horsepower, 434 lb-ft of torque V8 is officially on sale right now, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/make\/ford\/\">Ford<\/a> says the mills are flying off the shelves. According to the Blue Oval, the company has received over 3,000 orders for the Raptor with the more powerful engine. <\/p>\n<p>The bigger engine offers a 91 horsepower bump over the base 5.4-liter V8, which should help the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2009\/08\/24\/first-drive-2010-ford-f-150-svt-raptor-is-a-diamond-on-the-roug\/\">Raptor<\/a> be a little quicker on its toes when it comes to desert maneuvers. That&#8217;s all fine and dandy, but how much will it cost you? If you go for the 6.2, expect to add another $3,000 to the final price tag. While we haven&#8217;t had a chance to play with the uprated Raptor just yet, that sounds like a mighty fine deal to us.<\/p>\n<p>Ford has also announced a number of other optional features now available for its off-road beast, including special halogen lamps mounted atop a light bar, a tow kit for pulling lesser machines from the sand, and blue powder-coated cam covers for both engines. Far be it from us to look down on a little show with your go. <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"postgallery\">\n<p><strong>Gallery: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/first-drive-2010-ford-f-150-svt-raptor\/low\/\">First Drive: 2010 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/first-drive-2010-ford-f-150-svt-raptor\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2009\/08\/2010raptor_firstdrive002_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"2010raptor_firstdrive002\" title=\"2010raptor_firstdrive002\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/first-drive-2010-ford-f-150-svt-raptor\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2009\/08\/2010raptor_firstdrive001_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"2010raptor_firstdrive001\" title=\"2010raptor_firstdrive001\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/first-drive-2010-ford-f-150-svt-raptor\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2009\/08\/2010raptor_firstdrive000_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"2010raptor_firstdrive000\" title=\"2010raptor_firstdrive000\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/first-drive-2010-ford-f-150-svt-raptor\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2009\/08\/2010raptor_firstdrive003_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"2010raptor_firstdrive003\" title=\"2010raptor_firstdrive003\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/first-drive-2010-ford-f-150-svt-raptor\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2009\/08\/2010raptor_firstdrive004_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"2010raptor_firstdrive004\" title=\"2010raptor_firstdrive004\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>\n[Source: Ford]<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/04\/09\/ford-raptor-6-2-liter-goes-on-sale-nearly-3-000-already-ordered\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Continue reading <em>Ford Raptor 6.2-liter goes on sale, nearly 3,000 already ordered<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/04\/09\/ford-raptor-6-2-liter-goes-on-sale-nearly-3-000-already-ordered\/\">Ford Raptor 6.2-liter goes on sale, nearly 3,000 already ordered<\/a> originally appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\">Autoblog<\/a> on Fri, 09 Apr 2010 13:29:00 EST.
