Ford Rhino Raptor Prototype
By John
Editor
This was Ford’s attempt to provide the military with an alternative to the HMMWV. It’s a one-off, but since it’s built with F-150 running gear, finding parts shouldn’t be a problem. Of course, telling people that you drive something called a "Rhino Raptor" doesn’t have such an easy solution. That name seriously sounds like it was crafted by a couple of ESL toddlers trying to imagine something menacing. Oh my God, it’s a Rhino Raptor! Look out! The reserve is set at 30K—think anyone will meet it?

This truck was designed and build by soem serious, buidlers. Not just some idiots with money of even lower, some idiots that call them selfs editors. I wonder if an editor even knows what end of a screw driver to hold on to. Check out the Rhino Runner. It’s the bus built by the same builders that protect the US top staff in conflict. The Rhino Runner is light, fast and 10 times cheeper to maintain then a hummer. The next phase is a supercharger……
Cool cars are cool. One off’s are a step more…….

Stupid name.
.
Cool looking truck.
.
Having a one off vehicle would be awesome!
.
I just wouldn’t tell anyone what the name is.
.
Maybe I’d make up my own name, like Super Dee Duper Demolition Truck, or Hybrid Antithesis, or some other silly name

someone’ll surely step up to the plate, especially for a one-off… even with such a stupid name. Heck, if there’s only one, what’s to stop someone from calling it anything they want anyway????? It’s not like other Rhino Raptor owners would be left scratching their heads.
