2010 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor
2010 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor - Automobile Magazine
Probably the most amazing truck in the world.

Massive suspension modifications were enough to make the Raptor a hit among the niche set of off-roaders that wants to go fast in the sand but doesn't really want to build their own trucks. If you've never experienced a lifted truck with a properly dialed-in suspension, the Raptor is probably the most amazing truck in the world. But it came with a boat anchor for an engine.
