In the world of pickups, beast mode comes in many forms. Luckily, the most sought after in the world of both half-ton and off-road models are variants of the legendary F-150. Now, this trucks sibling--the Ford Raptor--is poised to vault onto the scene with the same tech that has made the most recent generation F-150 a runaway hit.

Unveiled over a year and a half ago, the Raptor has been something of a unicorn for enthusiasts. Very little information was unveiled, and now, we're getting our best look yet about what it's capable of. Rocking a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 with 450 horsepower, the new Raptor is more powerful than the V8 truck it replaces. Better still, there's quite a bit of brains to go along with that impressive slice of brawn, as the video above proves.

Yet we bet the real ticket to the new Raptor will be the experience behind the wheel. Contact our Ford dealership in Columbus, KS to set up a test drive when it arrives at our showroom this fall.
