It's good to know that there's still some sense left in the world. The minds at <em>Four Wheeler</em> have announced that of all the excellent pickup trucks for sale right now, the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/10/26/2010-ford-f-150-svt-raptor-6-2-review-road-test/">2010 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor 6.2</a> is king of the heap. The magazine has officially crowned the big Blue Oval as its Truck of the Year, saying that the go-fast off-roader is every four-wheel-drive enthusiast's dream machine straight from the factory. After our stints behind the wheel of the Raptor, we're inclined to agree. <br />
<br />
<em>Four Wheeler</em> has been choosing a truck of the year since 1989, and to classify, a model must be new or significantly revised compared to its predecessor. This year, the magazine lined up the Raptor alongside the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/super+duty">Ford Super Duty Power Stroke Lariat FX4</a> and the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/silverado">Chevrolet 2500 Silverado Z71</a>, but it was the Ford's bird of prey that came out on top. You can check out the full report in the March 2011 issue of <em>Four Wheeler</em>, which is set to hit the stands in January, logically.<br />
