Related: Future Toyota FJ Cruiser Speculative Render Looks Great With Some Ford Bronco Styling Cuesīut a peek through the windows reveals a modern-ish SVT Raptor dashboard complete with touchscreen infotainment, heated leather bucket seats, automatic climate control and even a reversing camera.ĭelve further under the skin, something that’s entirely possible thanks to the generous ground clearance afforded by suspension designed with 11-inches of front travel and 12 inches at the rear, and you’ll see a 2011 SVT Raptor’s Fox Racing shocks and a supercharged 6.2-liter V8. Built by Sweet Brothers Restomods in Upton, Wyoming, its based around the chassis, drivetrain and interior of a modern Ford F-150 Raptor, but cleverly topped off with body parts from 1970s Fords for a convincing classic look.Ĭhrome wheels aside, this looks at first glance just like a nicely preserved 1978-79 Ford F-series crew cab truck, the various body panels having been sourced from an F-250 and also a ’79 Bronco which shared the bigger truck’s face. This truck, currently being auctioned on Bring-a-Trailer, goes much further, and we absolutely love it. It has just enough of a classic vibe to tick the vintage box, but all the safety, performance and comfort you expect from a bland modern truck. That’s one of the reasons Ford’s new Bronco has proved so popular. Old Ford and GM trucks look seriously cool, but using one every day requires accepting the limitations of something built half a century ago that was hardly the last word in sophistication, even then.
