The Raptor version of Ford's mid-size Ranger pickup truck isn't bound for the United States. The information was revealed to Autoblog by Hermann Salenbauch, vehicle line director at Ford Performance, in an interview published Thursday.

Ford's F-150 Raptor now has a little brother in the form of the Ranger Raptor unveiled on Wednesday at a special showing in in Bangkok, Thailand. Why Thailand?

Described as the merging of an ATV, a motorcross bike and...
