As a race, we humans are obsessed with the notion of "best." Whether it's generations of on-point marketing or a strand of latent genetic code that pushes us to shack up with a better mate, we just can't shake the disposition. It's what drives our society forward - the quest for the latest product that promises a slightly improved experience or that one feature that eclipses the competition.

Why? We took to the saddle of Ford's latest entry-level F-Series equipped with the company's new 5.0-liter V8 to find out.Continue reading 2011 Ford F-150 4x4 SuperCrew [w/video] (http://www.autoblog.com/2011/05/18/2011-ford-f-150-4x4-supercrew-review-road-test/)
