I drove a $63,000 Ford Raptor pickup truck for a week to see if it lived up to the hype — here’s the verdict (F)

Matthew DeBord/BI We tested the Ford Raptor, a pickup truck that goes to 11 and then some. While I didn’t bust through the wilderness with this high-performance offroader, I did take it on a couple of long drives. The Raptor truly is something special. But it’s not for everybody, especially if you don’t like to […]

This truck, on its surface, seems an unlikely choice for over-the-road travel, but it gets used often for that […]

The drive of the highly anticipated second-generation Ford Raptor, the truck the company had teased us with for nearly two years after its auto-show unveiling, was finally nearing.

The Ford Ranger Raptor is real, and this is what it might look like

We love the fullsize Ford Raptor. It’s one of our favorite pickup trucks, and with good reason. It’s based on the guts of the F-150, which means it’s comfortable, durable, and capable of hauling just about anything an American family would ever need to move. Thing is, it’s overkill. Bigger, badder, faster, stronger… all good […]
