Here’s some news that will make you roll yours eyes and say, “Duh!”—the 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor took home the fine designation of “Best Pickup Truck of 2017” from the folks over at Cars.com. It’s not that we aren’t appreciative of such an honor, we just figured, with a truck as fierce, powerful, and good-looking as the 2017 F-150 Raptor is, it would be difficult not to win top honors.

There are a lot of aspects that distinguish the 2017 F-150 Raptor from other pickups out there, as well as from the other F-150 models and trims. To put it lightly, the Raptor is special. It’s developed to go off road, right out of the factory, and thanks to its aluminum body panels, it’s lighter and stronger than ever. It also features a desert-racing suspension system and a six-mode multi-terrain system that you control from steering wheel-mounted buttons. If you’re looking for fun in a box, it doesn’t come much better packed than the 2017 F-150 Raptor.
“The all-new F-150 Raptor, building off the success of its predecessor, pushes the envelope more with performance gains and new technology offerings. With more power and torque, a first-in-class 10-speed transmission, a high-strength, military-grade, aluminum-alloy body that saves 500 pounds over the previous model, unique BFGoodrich tires and improved Fox Racing shocks, the 2017 F-150 Raptor stands alone in the high-performance off-road truck segment.” —excerpted from a 01.10.17 Ford Press Release
