On a muddy trail in the backwoods of rural Ohio, the Raptor thundered down a muddy trail, flattened bumps, smashed through craters and splashed through massive puddles.

It took on standing water so deep and with so much force that mud caked every inch of the roof by the time we were done.And while that capability may not be needed every day, it makes you confident in the unstoppability of this supertruck. We found ourselves going out of our way to hit potholes dead on just to watch the Raptor shrug them off without a whimper.

And we have to mention the value that the Raptor presents. A decade ago, a lot of people would scoff at paying $65,610 for a pickup truck. But now, it's become normal. The average transaction price of a Ford F-150 is fast approaching $50,000 with many sales cresting $70,000.Tundra is more affordable, the last Ram we tested was $66,370. The GMC Sierra AT4, which we are evaluating now, stickers for $66,365. So the Raptor isn't alone.

Also, while this Raptor was competitively priced, you have to pay more to get things like cooled seats and radar cruise control. If your priority is comfort and luxury, your dollar goes farther with a Ram 1500 or even a different trim of F-150.Raptors start at $54,450, but we'd definitely step up to the crew cab model. That gives you four doors and enough space to really take advantage of the Raptor's dual capability as a daily driver and an unstoppable performance truck.
