King is down:
Welcome
the King!
Ford’s first F-150 Raptor hit like a meteorite when it made its debut for 2010—sudden, spectacular, and surprising. It was the first true high-performance off-road pickup with a factory warranty, a proud totem of badassery. Developed by Ford’s Special Vehicle Team, it somehow survived both the Baja 1000 desert race and the worst economic faceplant in recent history to become a certified critical and commercial success, even if many a Raptor never set a wheel off-road. We predict more of the same now that a new, lighter F-150 platform will underpin Ford’s exurban pre-runner.
