Ford has already told us it’s not building an Everest Raptor.

    Customers don’t want one, the brand believes – but no-one told Shana E-Sport in Thailand, or the AMP Tires page that shared images of the car.

    The eye-catching off-roader features the front end from a Ford F-150 Raptor R, fender flares that look similar to those on the previous-generation Ranger Raptor, a suspension lift, and rugged off-road rubber.

    There’s certainly no missing it…

    It’s not clear if the Raptor has an uprated powertrain to match its uprated exterior and suspension.

    The most powerful engine on offer in the factory Everest is a 3.0-litre turbo-diesel V6 making 184kW of power and 600Nm of torque. The Ranger Raptor packs a turbocharged petrol V6 with 292kW and 583Nm.

    Would you drive an Everest Raptor?
