Check it out here:

They explain the history, the teamwork, and everything behind the design, testing, and production of this amazing truck. Definitely worth watching! It’s a 12-minute video. Let me know your thoughts!

I actually met him in 2013 when I visited SVT. Really cool guy.

That’s so cool! I’d totally love to meet him someday. He seems like someone you just want to sit and talk cars with.

Definitely! The whole SVT team had this vibe like they knew they had created something truly epic. They even had this crazy 400hp Focus RS on display for us. It was awesome.

It sucks that he’s over at Jaguar now. Would have been amazing to see what he’d do with the next Raptor generation.

I know, right? Let’s hope he’s working on making Jaguar a bit cooler.

After that last Jaguar ad, I’m not holding my breath. They’ve got a long way to go.

He’s actually leading Jaguar’s SVO division. He’s behind the Defender OCTA, which is kind of like a Raptor-inspired Land Rover with a 600+hp V8. Pretty wild!

If you think that was cool, you should watch ‘Raptor: Born in Baja’ on YouTube. It’s the ultimate documentary for Raptor fans. You’ll recognize some of the names in it!

Thanks for sharing this. I’d never come across that interview before. Really great insight.

This guy is a legend. No other way to put it.

The truck in that video, the Terrain SuperCrew with the beadlocks, has to be one of the best-looking trucks ever. Everything about it is perfect.
