Why 5.0: Doug's numbers actually undersell it — Acceleration and Handling both land mid-pack, but Fun Factor still hits 7, which is the whole story: this isn't a drag-strip trim, it's a desert-racing trim, and the metric that matters doesn't show up in a parking lot.

The long version

Ford built the Raptor off its own Baja racing program, and the long-travel Fox Live Valve suspension underneath is genuinely tuned for jumping whoops at speed, not a badge-engineered appearance package on a regular F-150. That heritage shows up in the resale numbers: unlike most trucks, the Raptor holds value hard enough that used examples routinely sit near what they cost new, a pattern collector cars get and work trucks almost never do. Owners buy it to actually go find the rough road, and the desert-trip mileage on used listings backs that up more than any spec sheet could.
