I went to the nearby Ford dealership yesterday in hopes of getting a glimpse of the Ford SVT Raptor F-150. This specialized truck (pictured at right for Wheels of the Week) is an off-road menace, eating dirt and and gravel for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It's upgraded suspension allows it to master places where few trucks are capable of going. On top of that, the truck looks awesome, setting itself apart from it's 150 brothers with a wider stance, a black grill, and oversized tires.
While I was there, I did take a look at the 2009-2010 F-150s, and I must say, I was impressed. Ford is actually doing some great things, and having the number one truck in the country for 32 consecutive years means they're doing something right.
Always an import guy, myself, I never imagined I'd be walking around in Ford territory. Though, after seeing Ford ride the economical tide with success, it's hard to say anymore that their build quality is poor. It makes me actually consider buying American, something that I've only had nightmares about. Bravo, Ford. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for reading.
