Ford just overhauled its most rugged pickup and styled it after a fighter jet - see the new F-150 Raptor

• Ford just unveiled the all-new, third generation of the F-150 Raptor.
• It's the most rugged pickup truck Ford currently makes, intended for high-speed desert-running and leaping through the air.
• No price was announced at this time, but the new Raptors will hit showrooms this summer.

You knew it was coming.

Hot on the heels of June's 2021 Ford F-150 pickup truck reveal comes the new F-150 Raptor: the performance one. The off-roady one. The desert-running one. The leapy one. This is the one for the people who want a Baja 1000-ready pickup.

Powered by a 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine, Ford says the new Raptor will have an expected range of more than 500 miles. No pricing was announced at this time, but the truck will arrive in showrooms this summer. Next year, expect an even more hardcore F-150 Raptor R.

But for now, read on to see the 2021 F-150 Raptor, a pickup truck that Ford says was inspired by the F-22 Raptor fighter jet.

The 2021 Ford F-150 Raptor is the new, performance-oriented version of the pickup truck and designed for off-roading.

The grille is blacked out and meant to give a sense of width.

The functional side vents and the hood's new heat extractor have all apparently been inspired by the jet.

I don't see it, personally.

Inside, that idea of a jet continues in the highly technical cockpit.

The 12-inch digital gauge cluster features Raptor-specific animations and graphics.

Basically, this lets you drive your truck off-road without having to worry about two pedals.

Pressing the throttle moves the truck forward. Releasing it activates the brake.

The Raptor comes with Ford's twin-turbo 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine, though no official performance specs were released at this time.

However, Ford did say that low-end torque, maximum towing capabilities, and maximum payload have all been improved.

The truck is projected to have an EPA-estimated range of more than 500 miles with a full tank of gas.
