It's good to know that there's still some sense left in the world. The minds at Four Wheeler have announced that of all the excellent pickup trucks for sale right now, the 2010 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor 6.2 (http://www.autoblog.com/2010/10/26/2010-ford-f-150-svt-raptor-6-2-review-road-test/) is king of the heap. The magazine has officially crowned the big Blue Oval as its Truck of the Year, saying that the go-fast off-roader is every four-wheel-drive enthusiast's dream machine straight from the factory. After our stints behind the wheel of the Raptor, we're inclined to agree.
Four Wheeler has been choosing a truck of the year since 1989, and to classify, a model must be new or significantly revised compared to its predecessor. This year, the magazine lined up the Raptor alongside the Ford Super Duty Power Stroke Lariat FX4 (http://www.autoblog.com/model/super+duty) and the Chevrolet 2500 Silverado Z71 (http://www.autoblog.com/model/silverado), but it was the Ford's bird of prey that came out on top. You can check out the full report in the March 2011 issue of Four Wheeler, which is set to hit the stands in January, logically.
