We’ve certainly seen our fair share of celebrities tooling around in various Blue Oval vehicles over the years, whether they be bone stock or heavily modified in various ways. There are many notable names that only drive Ford vehicles, in fact, and a lot of those same people have been fans for life. That includes singer Post Malone, who has owned a Hennessey VelociRaptor 6×6, recently purchased two restomod Ford pickups, and even has a Ford F-150 Raptor tattoo. Now, fellow artist T-Pain has brought home a new ride, too – a customized Ford F-150 Raptor R.
In a recent post on Instagram, T-Pain showed off his latest purchase, which is a Ford F-150 Raptor R that he secured from the company known as SoFlo Customs in Florida, and outfit that’s known for creating some pretty over the top rides seemingly fit for the apocalypse. Humorously, he was so excited about this new acquisition that the singer posted a video of the truck at 5:30 am, before the sun even rose, after which he goes for a short drive in the new pickup.
“When you get a special delivery from @islamf_i at 5:30am you wake your ass up. Especially when it’s a Ford Raptor R. Got me feeling proud to be an American,” T-Pain wrote in his post.
This heavily-customized Ford F-150 Raptor R is equipped with all sorts of updates on the outside, including a lift kit, 22-inch wheels, 40-inch tires, a custom front bumper with Rigid lighting, and a bed-mounted chase rack with additional lighting. Otherwise, it’s essentially stock, which means that there’s a supercharged 5.2L V8 resting underhood, churning out 720 horsepower in this particular guise.

It has just one tiny flaw.
Though it remains flexible in terms of chemistry options.
Which has been the case for a while now.
One that could possibly add a hybrid powertrain.

That's T-painful to look at....
I can't understand leaving a vehicle focused on performance at the height of a truck... Nascar is doing it wrong then!
