I'd say it is more like the Lightning concept, but it comes in colors like the regualer F-150.
(The Raptor is too new 2009? After the game was made?)

The Contender is based on the eleventh generation 2004-2008 [[wikipedia:Ford F150|Ford F-150 extended cab]]. The grille and headlights are inspired by the [[wp:Chevrolet Avalanche#2007 - present|2007 Chevrolet Avalanche]]. The truck has a Supercharged 5.7L V8 engine, which is similar to the [[wikipedia:Ford Lightning|Ford SVT Lightning]] but with a larger displacement V8 (the Lightning had a 5.4L V8).
The Contender is based on the eleventh generation 2004-2008 [[wikipedia:Ford F150|Ford F-150 extended cab]]. It has a  Chevy-like, horizontally-split grille and headlights that are similar to the [[wp:Chevrolet Avalanche#2007 - present|2007 Chevrolet Avalanche]]. The truck has styling reminiscent of the the third generation [[wikipedia:Ford Lightning|Ford SVT Lightning concept]], most noticeably in the front bumper, grille (in shape, not including the split grille), hood, and back end. The Supercharged 5.7L V8 engine, is also similar to the Lightning concept but with a larger displacement V8 (the Lightning had a 5.4L V8).


Despite having a Supercharged engine, it's acceleration and top speed are unimpressive, and can be equally matched by the [[Bobcat]] but the top speed is higher. The Contender comes with a variety of bed modifications, including one that makes it look more like a Chevy Avalanche. There is a rare "rally" version of the Contender that comes with a grille guard, a roll bar and roof lights. In GTA IV, after collecting all thirty cars for [[Stevie]] he agrees to purchase cars from [[Niko Bellic]], with the Contender fetching [[Dollar|$]]2,500.
