2011 Ford Harley-Davidson F-150 gets power boost from the Raptor SVT

Ford is Raptorizing one of its top-flight F-150s for 2011, adding more power underhood to go with the loads of looks and leather that are the hallmarks of the Harley-Davidson edition.

The 2011 model is fitted with the 6.2-liter V8--first offered in the Raptor SVT--that makes 411 hp and 434 lb-ft of torque while towing up to 9,300 pounds. That's a monster upgrade from the previous edition, which displaced 5.4 liters and made 320 hp and 390 lb-ft.

Ford also loaded up the content this year in the Harley edition, with a voice-activated nav screen, a 4.2-inch “productivity screen,” a power moon roof and remote start.

Harley and Ford have a long-running relationship, collaborating on a long list of models, including nine F-150s and six Super Duty F-250s and F-350s; there was also an F-450 in 2009.

The 2011 Harley F-150 is fronted by a six-bar chrome billet grille, gets 22-inch wheels, side graphics and special badging. Inside is leather, ambient lighting and more badging.
