Ford Raptor, The Baddest Truck in America

In today’s day and age an economical car is thought to be the best bet by most consumers and car dealers.  Many car buyers, when looking for a new car, are tempted by low gas mileage alternatives to the typical American pickup truck. However, there is one car that outsells all of them and almost every other vehicle out there. Despite environmentalism and the go-green movement, the Ford F150 Raptor, usually simply referred to as the Ford Raptor was the best selling vehicle in the United States in 2013 and has continued to top sales since then for most dealers.

The Ford Raptor has sold so well that Ford is being forced to increase production. When it comes down to it, America loves trucks. Fuel economy takes second place to an awesome piece of American ingenuity. While a typical car will sit at a dealer’s lot for an average of 60 days, the Raptor is gone in one-fourth the time, just 15 days. Ford dealers from Utah to Maine can’t get enough of them.  

There have been a lot of studies comparing the Raptor to other cars sold by automotive dealers. Compared to the Ram Runner it handles much better, and compared to the Chevy Reaper it came out as the favorite in every review. The Motor Trend Channel compared them, testing highway and off road handling and loved the Raptor. The Ford Raptor was overall the favorite, and every review that you can find will agree. With so much public land in Utah and other states, there are amazing places to go off-roading and try it out.

The Raptor delivers unmatched off-road experience so you can hit up Moab, Utah and outclass every Jeep there. It also pulls its weight in horsepower and just looks awesome.  There are websites entirely dedicated to customizing Raptors, and although other Ford trucks compete, they don’t quite keep up. There are companies making custom parts for almost every part of the vehicle. There are bumpers, grills, lift-kits, custom pedals and even the antenna. There’s no denying that every time you see one on the road it grabs your attention. That’s when you know it’s a well put-together car.

If you’re looking for a killer off-road truck or simply the best looking truck on the market, the only option for car dealers and customers alike is the Ford Raptor.
