Two months ago we shared Ford's teaser video showing the next Raptor in testing. The truck gingerly crawled through the forest. Now Ford has a new video. Since this is the second one were expecting to see drifts, jumps, rocky climbs, and high-speed runs off-road. You be the judge. Is a truck video that warns not to get water above the hubs some kind of joke, or is Ford just showing this truck off too soon? The new Raptor is due in one year.

It's Ford covering their ass. The water to the hubs thing has been in the manual for every 4x4 I've ever owned or thought about owning (yes, I download and read owners manuals as part of the decision making process...). Even in my Jeep's manual despite being rated for like 29" of water.
