The 2017 Ford SVT Raptor has quite a mantle to live up to. The previous-gen V8 powered truck not only offered winning performance, its production capacity was always at, or near its limit. Now, the lighter, V6 powered second generation truck is but a few months away, and enthusiasts are wondering how much better it is.
The video above should give you some indication. With its lightweight high-riding chassis, the SVT Raptor of tomorrow looks not just at home tearing up the desert turf. It makes the whole thing look completely effortless. That's because where the outgoing engine had 411 horsepower, the new engine boasts 450 ponies and some state-of-the-art suspension and shocks that can stand up to harsh conditions as well as the test of time.
However, it'll be some time before we see it in action in the flesh. In the meantime, stop by our Ford dealership in Winchester, VA and try your hand behind the wheel of any of our pickups, sedans, or SUVs.
