According to a number of sources, the U.S. Border Patrol is mulling the possibility of adding at least ten rugged 2010 Ford F150 SVT Raptors to its fleet -- though they've asked Ford to supply the vehicles with a plain work trim instead of the truck's standard high-end package. News of the beef-up should be music to the ears of certain immigration-phobic TV commentators, provided they can get past the Raptor's Mexican roots. Which is nice, because some of them could really use a little good news right now. [PickupTrucks.com]

    That is kind of ironic to use a Mexican made truck to enforce our borders, maybe the ports should use foreign made vehicles to enforce security too?

    There is no pleasing some people. At least they didn't select a Ridgeline.

    I agree with gpwoodduck. Leave the political slant out of this otherwise good stuff.
