f-150 raptor

The 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor isn’t just a truck—it’s the most anticipated truck of the last few years. Press from all around the world have made their way to San Diego, California, to partake in a two day testing program. Although Ford Truck Enthusiast’s invitation got lost in the mail (clears throat), we’re still bringing you the latest on this revolutionary pickup truck.

The guys at The Fast Lane Truck always do a great job with their video reviews, which is why we’re bringing you part one of their two episode video review. The in-depth 20 minute video review by Roman Mica, will cover just about everything you’ve been dying to know about the 2017 F-150 Raptor, and then some.

As you already know, the 3.5 liter EcoBoost 6-cylinder turbocharged engine produces 450 horsepower, and 510 lb-ft of torque, making this Raptor the most powerful off-road pickup truck ever designed by the blue oval. And while we expect the Raptor to be pretty darn capable off-road, we’ve yet to find out what it’s like during normal everyday street driving.

According to Mica, the two day testing event is split into two different driving phases, making day one the street driving test, and day two the off-road and rock crawling test. During this video you’ll get an overview of the truck’s on road performance, comfort, drivability, etc. We will also bring you tomorrow’s video as soon as it’s uploaded to YouTube.

Stay tuned for more F-150 Raptor breaking news!
