The Ford F-150 we know and love is one formidable beast, especially since its generational update in 2015. Yet, what if we told you there was a truck in its class that was even more beastly, and even more off-road capable? We're talking about the 2017 SVT Raptor of course, which arrives this autumn with a whole new set of skills.

The SVT Raptor was designed with off-roading in mind. But with competing automakers amping up the capability by leaps and bounds, Ford opted to go all-out with their second-generation model. The one you see in the video above comes with a V6 boasting V8 levels of power, specialty struts, available wheels for added grip, and a Terrain Management system that adds a dosage of brains to its ample brawn.

To experience the new Raptor for yourself, you'll have to wait a little while longer. We'll keep you in the loop, and when it arrives at our Ford dealership in Saukville, WI, we'll set you up with a test drive.
