2010 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor
2010 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor has received the Truck of Texas award. Ford's win doesn't really come as a surprise since this is the 7th consecutive year that the Blue Oval's F-Series pickups have won the same award. The F-150's dominance in previous years may probably have been for similar reasons but we have to say that with the Raptor, Ford outdid itself. With this type of performance and at a relatively low purchase price of $39,000 for the 5.4-liter, it's going to be difficult to resist. Its rivals will be hard-pressed to compete with what it offers.
"The 2010 Ford F-150, powered by the all-new SVT Raptor, was named 2009 "Truck of Texas" by the Texas Auto Writers Association (TAWA), the seventh consecutive time a Ford F-Series truck has won the award. Additionally, F-150 SVT Raptor was named best "Full-size Pickup Truck." "Winning the Truck of Texas is a distinct honor," said Mark Fields, president, The Americas, Ford Motor Company. "Texans know their trucks, and this award is further proof of why the F-Series remains America's number-one selling pickup. We built F-150 SVT Raptor for truck enthusiasts. And we're gratified it's gaining recognition for both its unequaled off-road performance and confidence-inspiring on-road demeanor." Ford trucks also took the "Truck Line of Texas," a distinguished honor recognizing the best-in-class capability and durability of Ford's lineup." stated the press release.
