Judging took place over a week, as judges with the opinion-leading off-road enthusiast publication conducted a variety of tests on a total of seven trucks spanning more than 1,000 miles of terrain including pavement, gravel, dirt, sand, rocks, mud and snow. The trucks weren\u2019t just tested in tough conditions, either. They were also taken out on the track where the new F-150 Raptor scored best-in-field zero to 60 miles per hour and quarter-mile times. So how did the 2017 F-150 Raptor earn the award?
