The legendary American pickup truck, the Ford F-150 Raptor, has unexpectedly appeared on the European market. A dealer is offering a new model for sale, but the price is significantly higher than in the U.S. In America, the Ford F-150 Raptor starts at $79,000, while the European example is listed for €135,422. At the current exchange rate, that's about $156,000—nearly double the base price in its home market.

This is a brand-new vehicle with minimal mileage. The pickup is painted Shelter Green and features a Black Onyx leather interior. It also meets the Euro 6 emissions standard, allowing it to be officially driven in European countries.

Under the hood is a 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine producing 450 horsepower and 691 Nm of torque. It pairs with a ten-speed automatic transmission and an all-wheel-drive system. Acceleration to 97 km/h takes just over 5.5 seconds.

Equipment includes a Bang & Olufsen audio system, a head-up display, surround-view cameras, heated and ventilated seats, panoramic body lighting, a power tailgate, and many other features.

The high price is due to the cost of importing the vehicle to Europe, taxes, and limited availability. Despite this, such American pickups remain in demand among European collectors and fans of large off-road models.
