Ford F150 Raptor
It’s amazing how the truck industry has evolved. The idea of a performance truck with a small-ish turbocharged engine and 10-speed automatic was pretty unbelievable just a couple of years ago. However, we now have the latest F150 Raptor, a brutal machine that raises the bar for all other performance trucks (via Ford).
It’s a 3.5-liter turbo V6 with 450 hp and 510 lb.-ft of torque, a 10-speed automatic transmission, and sub-five-second acceleration times. The figures suggest that this is an exotic supercar, right? No, this is a full-size pickup truck with room for five people and a regular truck bed. Of course, this is not your ordinary pickup. The Ford Raptor is the closest thing to a complete Baja 1000 racing vehicle you can buy today and put license plates on.
