Prior to the new Ford SVT Raptor F-150 being introduced back in January at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show, it was unclear whether the new SVT pickup would be an off-road ready Raptor or an on-road Lightning.

The 2017 Ford SVT Raptor F-150 looks to be one wicked performance truck, even though we only know so much about the new off-road ready beast.

A Regular Cab 2015 F-150 converted into a Raptor would be the lightest possible configuration, this likely making it the fastest and the highest flying.

While being interviewed during the Rolex 24 last weekend, Ford exec Raj Nair stated that the 2017 Ford SVT Raptor F-150 will pack 450 horsepower from the specially tuned 3.5L EcoBoost V6.

Based strictly on appearance, what do you think of the 2017 Raptor F-150?

The premium engine for the 2015 Ford F-150 is the 3.50L EcoBoost V6 with 365 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque.

Based on the recent news that Ford Motor Company is still considering the future of both hybrid electric and diesel versions of their newest F-150 pickup, we want to know which you think is the better direction for the light truck alternative power program.
