It's a third-generation model that is based on the current Ford F-150 Raptor, which was introduced in February 2021. The Texas-based tuner announced that the first six-wheelers were sent out earlier this month.
The modifications and enhancements go far beyond simply adding a third pair of wheels. The Hennessey engineers equipped the new truck with Fox suspension and dual locking rear axles - adding an impressive 50 percent more tractive grip - to ensure the VelociRaptor dominates on- and off-road.

The truck's uprated, turbocharged powertrain produces 558 hp (416 kilowatts) and 672 lb-ft (911 Newton-meters) of torque. By comparison, the stock Raptor has 450 hp (336 kW) and 510 lb-ft (692 Nm).
The imposing Hennessey creation is significantly longer than the stock Raptor. The extension allows the fitment of an expansive 8-foot (2.4 meter) long load bed that boasts 45 percent more volume than the stock 5.5-foot (1.67-meter) bed. Hennessey has also raised the VelociRaptor to be several inches taller than standard through a combination of a three-inch lift, upgraded Hennessey 20-inch wheels and capable 37-inch off-road tires.
John Hennessey, company founder and CEO: "Everything is bigger and faster in Texas and our VelociRaptor 6×6 takes this concept to the extreme! Building on the capability, power, and presence of our VelociRaptor truck, our latest six-wheel drive offering will delight customers across the US and around the world with its power and go-anywhere abilities."
