Addictive Platinum Edition | 2011 Ford Raptor

Heading into its fifth year of sales, the Ford Raptor F-150 continues to be a hot seller. As one of only a few 4x4s specifically built for off-road use, it’s no surprise that dealerships have trouble keeping these trucks in stock. What is a bit of a surprise is how many Raptor owners purchase aftermarket parts. For a truck with such small sales numbers (compared to its parent F-150 truck), it is astonishing how many parts are offered and sold for Ford Raptors. For many companies, Raptor bolt-ons are the hottest sellers. For companies that got in on the ground floor with quality Raptor products, the Raptor has made them a mint. Jared Hare, owner of Addictive Desert Designs, saw it coming. He got a Raptor into ADD’s talons as soon as he could to start seeing what future Raptor owners would want. Before most Raptor owners even bought their trucks, ADD already had bumpers, gusset kits, and racks ready to go.

When it came time to build his personal Raptor, Jared wanted something that would stand out a little bit. While his truck was anything but stock underneath, so many Raptors run ADD’s bumpers that his truck would blend right in at any Raptor event. The first step was to ditch the factory wheel-and-tire package for a set of 35-inch Toyo Open Country M/T tires on Fuel 20-inch wheels. Next, Jared had the entire truck wrapped in a matte silver that gave it a unique (and very cool) look.

Finished off with his most radical chase rack and bunch of LED lights, it’s hard to mistake Jared’s Raptor for anyone else’s.

What kind of business owner would you be if you didn’t run your own product? Jared has Addictive Desert Designs’ Stealth Fighter bumpers in the front and rear.

Up front, the Addictive Desert Designs upper control arm is used in conjunction with a spindle adapter and the factory lower control arm. Jared also added King coilovers in place of the factory Fox shocks. The combination nets him an extra 1.5 inches of suspension droop over the factory setup.
