What Happened To This Brand New 2018 Ford F-150 Raptor?

As of right now, Ford will sell you a 2018 F-150 Raptor for upwards of $50,000, in return for which you get a rough terrain-conquering truck with a 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost engine.

Power and torque are rated at 450 HP and 510 lb-ft (691 Nm) respectively, figures that course through the Raptor’s chassis with the help of a 10-speed automatic transmission. This is without a doubt one of the world’s quickest pickup trucks, as long as you’re able to steer it, obviously.

With this particular example, steering might be an issue, seen as how the entire dashboard has been dismantled. From the looks of it, the dismantling process must have been at least somewhat systematic, since we don’t really see any broken bits laying around.

As for why it was taken apart in the first place, your guess is as good as ours. The Copart ad only states that the truck features minor dents and scratches, but the only thing that’s immediately obvious is the troublesome interior.

In the end, we’re betting there are plenty of people out there who would consider bidding for something like this.

The best possible way to go about purchasing this car is if you’re already in a position to put the dashboard back together yourself, or at least at a relatively low cost. Theoretically, you should end up with a brand new Raptor at a considerable discount.
