Hennessey Drops Next-Generation VelociRaptor 6x6
by AutoExpert | 15 September, 2022
In the truck conversion industry, Hennessey has earned a reputation for providing conversions with tremendous power. The newest variant of this kind is the VelociRaptor 6x6, which is itself based on the Ford F-150 Raptor.
The alteration not only adds a third set of wheels and a longer rear bed but also improves the vehicle's chassis in several ways that make it more competent on rough terrain.
Hennessey installed a Fox suspension and 3-inch raise package on the truck's twin locking rear axles. As a consequence of this and the Velociraptor's 20-inch wheels wrapped in 37-inch off-road rubber, the Velociraptor has an even higher ride height than the factory F-150 Raptor.
The exterior also has a protective bullbar, an additional LED bar, and unique front and rear bumpers. The Velociraptor 6x6 stands out on the road, but its greater size also makes it more practical than the standard F-150. Particularly, the length of the bed has been increased from 5.5 feet to 8 feet.
The 6x6 model comes standard with a tuned version of the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine that generates 558 horsepower and 672 lb-ft of torque. Compared to the standard model's 450 horsepower and 510 lb-ft, this is a significant improvement made possible by the installation of a high-capacity intercooler with a blow-off valve, a revised air intake system, and reworked software.
The total price for the vehicle, including the cost of the donor vehicle, is $399,950. The first Hennessey VelociRaptor 6x6 has been delivered and the manufacturer is now accepting orders for more vehicles.
