How Hennessey Transforms the Ford F250 into a 650hp SUV - Torque News
While Hennessey Performance is best known for their high performance sports cars, the company has built more than their fair share of high performance trucks in the past few years and this time, they have turned their attention to the Ford F250... However, rather than just making a fast pickup truck, Hennessey took the F250 VelociRaptor to the next level, transforming the f250 into a modern day Ford Excursion…if the Excursion had been built to conquer pretty much any obstacle. If you do not recall the Ford Excursion, it was a super-sized SUV built on the Super Duty platform from 1999-2005. It was basically a Ford F250 pickup with a roofline that extended to the rear of the bed, which allowed for three rows of seats,... While the name Excursion doesn’t appear anywhere on the new Hennessey VelociRaptor F250, what the Texas tuner has done is create their take on what the Excursion would be if it still existed today. They did so by taking a new Ford F250 and modifying the cab to reach all of the way to the back of the bed, while the bed itself was converted into a third row of seats and a cargo area – just like the old Excursions. In addition to adding the third row of seats and transforming the bed into a proper SUV cargo area, Hennessey swaps out the tailgate for a pair of outward-swinging doors (just like the Ford Excursion).
