While we’re always happy to share advice, we also get excited when there’s great news to share about the Ford brand such as when one of its vehicles receives a coveted award. That’s why we can’t wait to tell you that the 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor has won Cars.com’s Best Pickup Truck of 2017 Award.
On its website, Cars.com makes the following observation about the all-new Ford F-150 Raptor, “[The 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor] is the best combination of engineering and features in a pickup truck that we've ever seen. It is so purpose-built, so understanding of what its drivers need and so great to drive — whether on- or off-road — that it's a revelation of what can be done with a pickup.”
With a first-in-class ten-speed automatic transmission and a military-grade, aluminum-alloy body that’s 500 pounds lighter than the previous version of this pickup, it may seem as if the 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor was an easy pick for the Best Pickup Truck of 2017 Award. While the new Ford F-150 Raptor certainly has characteristics that make it stand out, the pickup still faced some stiff competition to win this prestigious award.
One of the truck’s top competitors was the redesigned and re-engineered 2017 Ford Super Duty. With 20 class-exclusive features, it’s easy to understand why the 2017 Ford Super Duty was a serious contender for Cars.com’s Best Pickup Truck of 2017 Award.
