5 Special Off-Road Fords Before the Raptor
The Raptor is one of the best-ever off road trucks your hard earned dollars can purchase. Before the Raptor hit the scene, Ford was paving the way on the unpaved trail with these 5 special trucks that should be on everyone's short list of off-road beasties.

1. The First-Generation Explorer
The least considered, but highly capable off-roader from Ford can be found in their first generation Explorer. This follow-up to the Bronco is more widely known as a luxury or family-fun SUV. The first model, however, was very capable of crawling the rocks.

You can't keep a good SUV down. The first era of the SUV rolled in on the flagship Bronco. This beast of a truck was equally adept on dirt as it was on the pavement.

3. The Original F-150
Before the Raptor badge was stuck on this truck, the original F-150 was the off-road truck to own. It has virtually owned the Baja series with impressive wins time and time again.
