Why The F-150 Raptor is Better Than Your Average Off-Road Truck
The Ford F-150 Raptor is an impressive desert-runner, boasting 450 horsepower and 510 pound-feet of torque... but is it worth it?
An out-of-the-box off-road truck is a much smarter idea than modifying your own vehicle, unless you're mechanically inclined and get a kick out of working on trucks. When you modify a truck, you are almost definitely voiding its warranty, which means if anything breaks—and if you're going off road, it will—you're footing the entire bill. You'll also get a much higher quality vehicle from the factory than you will using third-party accessories.
