Ford's F-150 is the best-selling light-duty truck in the world, and imminently capable for work (see any construction site, farm or ranch) or play. The Thrillist.com recently had the opportunity to review a special version of this everyday truck - the playfully-named 2017 F-150 Raptor - and found it is one truck that puts the emphasis on fun, while still having all the work-ready credentials you might need during the week.

The Raptor is specially-designed for off-road adventures, whether it be on muddy, forested trails, snow and ice-covered backroads, rocky mountain highs or dry, desert expanses. In his testing of the Raptor's capabilities, Thrillist.com writer Aaron Miller writes about zooming across southern California's Anza-Borrego desert at speeds in excess of 90 mph, all while staying cucumber-cool thanks to the Raptor's thoughtfully-air-conditioned seats. The Raptor is rough-and-tumble all right, but carries its human crew in refined comfort.
