Back in the day, the idea of an off-road pickup was a novelty. Ford, however, has turned it into serious business with the SVT Raptor. Based off the legendary F-150, the Blue Oval's off-road pickup has taken on the latest technology to make it an even more formidable monster off-road. Today, we're going to tell you about it.
Ford has gone a somewhat unconventional route with the new Raptor, and part of that is something enthusiasts have already noticed: the absence of a V8 engine. Thanks to the impressive abilities of the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6, however, the Raptor delivers 450 horsepower, directed to the wheels of choice by a 10-speed automatic transmission and terrain management system. Aided by specifically tuned suspension, it's unlike anything else you'll find--on road or off.
