Logically speaking, the Ford SVT Raptor couldn't have come at a worse time. The automotive industry was struggling its way out of the Great Recession back in 2010, and few could see a market for an off-road pickup. But they proved the naysayers wrong, and the 2017 Raptor is set to do the same when it arrives in the autumn.
As you can see in the video above, Ford spared no expense in making sure its second-generation off-roader lived up not only to its predecessor, but also changed the game. While it sports a V6 instead of a V8--a fact that has irked some enthusiasts--it's far more powerful than the model it replaces by 39 ponies (total output is estimated at 450 horses), and packs desert-ready equipment like a punishment-proof fully-boxed steel frame, Terrain Management System, and more.
