The F150 Raptor also accomplished this with the factory stock F150 Raptor transmission, brakes, axles, and even the same frame found on all standard F150 Raptor trucks. Not bad for the F150 Raptor the first time out on such a nasty course. Most trucks do not even finish the race at all. The F150 Raptor finished third the first time out with factory parts.
