>Most capable off road vehicle
>Doesn't go off the trail to avoid scratching the paint.
Wut...
Theses guy dont even know what is offraoding.
François Desmarquis roading* :3
The trucks aren't theirs. If it gets scratched, the company is going to have to pay for the damage.
***** No thank you :)
François Desmarquis Your correct.. I don't like the ruff hard road suspension in the Wrangler. Plus getting in and out is for runt type guys. I bought Jeep (an d the Patriot 2015) because of the looks and looks, I guess. Hard to pull a boat with spare tire mounted in the rear, unless your a truck driver who can turn on 90 degree angles etc.
If you afraid of scratching the paint don't go off-road and that didn't mean the truck is not capable of off roading
They are both designed for different varieties of off road driving. Apples to oranges... The Jeep is great for slow crawling and articulation in rocky situations, and the Raptor is a nice straight from the dealer to the high speed desert racing world. Both ultimately end up being mall crawlers unfortunately though.
The best off road vehicle however is one that you can actually scratch up and just get on, and you will never get the perfect one direct from a dealer. The best ones IMO are built, not bought.
christopher.unruh We agree! However, this still makes for a fun mashup. Don't you think?
The Fast Lane Truck I wouldn't know because ypu only put half the video up
The Fast Lane Truck part one and two should go up at the same time
Even stuff u buy is built. It doesnt just appear somewhere
christopher.unruh unless your a rich fuck lol, my buddies parents has a raptor, and they aint worried about damaging it because his dad is like a fucking genus when it comes to repairing anything on vehicles, and they literally have money coming out their ass lol, must be nice lol, but I do agree with you thou, because like i used to own a 98 ram that i built from stock to be an offroad worthy truck, and i would just beat down some trails, now i have a 2012 and yeah i still like offroading/muddin in it but i do baby it more then i did my 98, and yeah im kinda getting tired of people comparing trail vehicles to the raptor, the raptor is too wide for trail driving, but it has all that power, its wide and powerful because its suppose to be a desert truck, Ram Power Wagon, Ram Rebel, Jeep Wranglers, Toyota Tundra/Tacoma TRD Pro, those are all trail trucks, compare those, the only ones you can really compare fairly to the raptor in the desert is the old ramrunner, and maybe the chevy silverado reaper, but idk about the reaper its a supercharged 5.3L and yeah its sitting on 33" but the one i saw at the car show had stock suspension except for a level kit that black widow installed
I love how they take a 4wd truck through something a 2wd could get through and act like its hardcore off roading. I don't think these guys have been really hardcore off roading their whole life.
We would like to see you try this trail in 2WD.
The Fast Lane Truck
I bet money that if i had a diesel stick shift i could do it. Wanna take me up on that?
+Hunt Guy "if" being key word there. You don't even own a truck and you're talking shit like you know something LOL.
TheAmericanUhate Actually I do lol. That and a fourwheeler. I've gone through plenty of trails and if you think what they did was hardcore you're just as stupid as they are.
Hunt Guy You're the one that said "IF i had" which automatically implies that you don't have. Also, Diesel's suck ass in mud, they are to heavy, to slow, no wheel speed to keep the tread clean, and never considered a good mud truck by anyone that knows what they're talking about. Another thing, most off-roaders prefer automatics, not stick shifts. I never said what they did was hard core, but I know a 2 wheel drive stick shift diesel wouldn't have made it back up the hill with out a winch. You clearly have no idea what you're talking about so stop pretending you do.
Ultimate off-road challenge? That was the weakest "trail" ever. Most of that was dirt roads. Then complaining of mud on your truck. Wow. It's what I imagine a city-slicker hipster acting like when they try to "rough it." A dirt road with a little puddle and the biggest worry being "oh please don't scratch my paint." Seriously, this was embarrassing.
HandgripsRaise Tell you what, go out and buy a $40,000+ Raptor and a $40,000+ Rubicon and you can go bash them offroading to your undersized brain's content, then you can come back here with the videos to show the whole world and THEN you will have earned the right to talk shit.
Daniel Bell thank you
Daniel Bell Personally I somewhat agree with him, and I have the receipt for my $45k Rubicon. I also have pin stripes all over it, a tweaked front bumper, and skid plates that are... doing their job to say the least. I have blown up a power steering pump while stuck in the mud, had it poured on with no top or doors (actually cleaned the interior pretty well after a day of being out off roading). I understand where Roman and Nathan are coming from, preserving the vehicles, as they are not theirs to do what they want with, but it does make for a somewhat lacklustre "ultimate test". I don't think anyone's ownership of either vehicle is relevant when it comes to the testing. If you buy a purpose built $40k off road machine, and are not using it for off roading, you're doing it wrong. Your argument is that because they are expensive they shouldn't be used for their purpose? Weak.
Dwealdric No, my point was that it's asinine to put down the hard work of someone that does these things for us, the viewers, when he has no pony in this race. When he puts his money where his mouth is, then he can criticize others work. These videos are for fun and not meant to be serious anyway because no one in their right minds would spend that kind of money on a vehicle to beat it up. Anyone that spends $40K to BUY an "off road machine" is off their rockers when for a fraction of that amount, they could build one multitudes better and not have to worry about resale or warranty or anything else. Hell, for $40K you could build 2 or 3 rigs! Also, for those of us that did build our own rigs, every time we see some yahoos like yall tearing up your shiny, new and expensive trucks, we laugh our asses off. So much wasted money and potential just because you're lazy and ignorant.
I appreciate what TFL is doing, I know is not like the ultimate off road but I also know that they don't have unlimited money and you know off road could be very expensive so i dont think they want to spend thousands of dollars in just a single video
"Let's test these vehicles off-road!"
*drives 1/4 mile downhill*
"Oh no! Branches!! The Raptor is done!!"
What a bitch. Come on man. Get a wrap on that truck and nut up. The Jeep would have won on that course either way, but you didn't even give the Raptor the opportunity to try.
+Curtis Hickerson "The Mud Hole" was actually just a piss puddle.
When I go off roading, I always bring a 14 inch gasoline chainsaw. problem solved
Mark S that's what they should have done :D
Mark S Machete and axe here, but chainsaw is on my list.
Mark S I don't think they are on privet land so that may get them in some legal trouble. Not sure though. I don't remember ever seeing them modify a trial. Maybe somebody that has been watching them longer will know whether or not they have,
Mark S Or, you could just not be a bitch about your paint
.
The good off roading starts at 7:00
I will always cheer for Jeep, however the Raptor has is one of my favorite trucks! Great mashup guys! Keep on Jeepin on!
Prerunner vs crawler. The Power Wagon would have been more of an apples to apples comparison (lockers, swaybar disconnect etc).
Now that there is a new JL and an Gen2 raptor, its time for a rematch!
Really, Ford vs Jeep Rubicon, come on!!! I will put my money on the Jeep every time!
Awesome off-road comparison, we only saw one truck on an easy trail that was afraid of a twig. Very impressive.
Name the number of trails a wrangler can run on, now name the number of trails a raptor can run on. The jeep is versatile enough to do anything. The raptor is simply too big to go on a lot of trails. They are both very offroad capable. But the jeep can do anything. It isnt limited by anything. Plus when you think of jeep you think of offroading. Its a given. When you think of ford you think of many things. But offroading is in the jeeps blood. Now if they made the original broncos, itd be a different story. Toyota has always made offroad vehicles, Mercedes has since the 70s, land rover since the 40s. But if ford ever wants to actually compete side to side with the jeep they have to bring back the bronco. Trucks were originally made for hauling and towing, not offroading. sure maybe through mud, but for technical terrain, you need to mod the hell out of it to make it where other vehicles can go. Great review guys and i look forward to the YJ videos!
Raptors are awesome!
I know lots about them
So you know they suck
The ford troller t4 might actually be better than the wrangler. Im not a ford fan but, where they're used jeeps probably wouldn't last
Well you got your wish. They are bringing back the Bronco. I agree with everything you said. The Raptor is a helluva truck and very capable, but it's wide stance and long wheelbase limit it compared to the Jeep. Now if they made the Raptor in single cab and 6.5 ft box configuration, it'd be short enough that I don't think the width would matter too much, but they're bringing back the Ranger which was like that and then using the Ranger platform for the Bronco also, which means we're gonna be getting a couple of bad ass vehicles from Ford.
Jeep is superior offroad, but the Raptor is still more versatile and actually rides nice.
This might be the worst off road test I have ever seen. Literally nothing you did was impressive, and the bit of not wanting to have some branches rub... are you kidding, that is what off roading is all about.
They don't own the raptor. And as roman said, he would if he or the company had the money to pay for new paint.
Ian Keslar Technically they do own it, they just won't have the title until it's paid for.
Jon Lawrence If you think 99% of those cars are driven only for work, grocery on a asphalt at speed of 50 km/h, its a perfect test.
Yeah, because it's fun to ruin the things you spend hard earned money on.
And of course it wasn't impressive those vehicles are stock.
I own both a 2010 Raptor 6.2 and a 07 JKU and they are both bad ass respectively. They are purpose built for 2 entirely different types off off-road but can both cross over into each other's categories
"The raptor has great approach angles"
7 minutes later... "oh man I'm getting stuck cause my front end is digging into the ground hah. Funny
I think my vw golf would have made it down that road. Not a very compelling test!
I agree, but you would have kill all the ecosystem with the emanation!
so offroad truck and dont wanna scratch the paint..wtf
+raheel saleem Exactly
because he doesn't own the truck! he explained his reason
Yeahhh like all companies do .. gave these youtubers a car which they have to deliver to the customer
+raheel saleem they should paint it with the peel off paint. go through and after you are done peel it off
+raheel salem You must not own anything nice.
The Raptor is a Desert Racer, it's built to handle whoops and fire roads at high speed, the Jeep is a true off road vehicle.
Desert vs Rocks... Apples and Oranges
I'd definitely take the raptor because I like being able to have a bed to put stuff in. As good as jeeps are, I can tow, haul, and go off road with a raptor.
Nellson Stout raptor all the way.
Raptor ftw
Agre
I find these two guys to be extremely irritating.
4runners are the best off-roaring vehicle. There’s a reason why they are the only things seen on the hardest off-road trails.
Traded m truck in for a Wrangler, and there's nothing like a Wrangler!
I wheel harder going up my driveway. find a new road
That is why yuppies should not go 4x4ing. Do not buy a $$,$$$$ trucks unless you got the balls to use it!
I live in Colorado and I do NOT own a Raptor, but I think it's the best factory 4x4 you can buy. The 400+ hp a Raptor makes combined with the awesome suspension means you can absolutely rip up and down a mountain road! I used to have a WJ and couldn't hang with my neighbor's raptor on HWY 36 between Estes and Lyons, (I upgraded to a big rear sway bar and Bilsteins, powerstop rotors and still couldn't match his speed). However that Jeep went down the narrow roads like the one in the video no problem. The Rubi is way more popular here as it can fit in the trails and looks cool. But most XJs, ZJs and WJs with a little work are nearly as capable as the Rubi for far less $$ .
I have a YJ w/33s for the trails and a NBS Silverado for my truck and DD needs but I'd love a Raptor with a 6.2!
Exactly right! Those Raptors cost so much you don't even want to get some scratches on one.
Russell Sova Why not? If I were to buy one, I'd run it through whatever I could. Otherwise, why have one?
Difference between a jeep owner and a ford owner. 6:10 jeep owners dont care about paint. When in doubt, plastidip it before hitting the trail.
"If only it were like 12 inches narrower..." - you mean if it was a tacoma?
Ben Tollefson Tacoma is a great off-road truck my friend has one
or a hilux with no flares
you can get any of those in most countries.
and both of them were designed for very different offroading styles: a raptor is built for high momentum offroading (that's why it has IFS), a jeep is made from low momentum crawling (that's why it has a solid front axle). you cannot compare them, you own both and choose the best for your adventure, it's like selecting a a screwdriver or a wrench.
You guys are awesome! My favorites are you two together ,such wonderful chemistry. You two got me interested in cars again :-) Keep up the great work.
This comment section is filled with people who can't drive who based the information of forza.
lemme guess a ps4 fanboy this is the same with all the ps4 racing open world games too
Roberto Higuera off
Big and bulky vs. smaller and lighter. Off road smaller and lighter wins most often. Big is only better when you have to carry a load off-road.
Also, old and beater beats new vehicle every time. I don't mind getting my 10 year old tundra in the woods, but a $70k raptor?
Pretty much tbh, you're saying the truth, like an old 500 WHP Honda, can beat Lamborghini, so old is better than new
The Ford Raptor SVT is a purpose built vehicle, it wasn't built for running through the woods where you have tight corners and narrow passages nor was it designed for mud bogging. The concept behind the Raptor was that Ford wanted a off-road vehicle that could cross desert terrain at high speeds and be able to survive the impact/abuse of small to medium size jumps that most other vehicles would fail at if they took those same jumps/bumps at 75 mph-100 mph range. The reason why the Ford Raptor has a wider body stance is so that the driver does not have to let off the accelerator as much if at all when going into a medium to hard turns at a high rate of speed and the risk of flipping/rolling the vehicle is much lower than a vehicle with a narrow body width because unlike the Jeep the Raptor is more likely to slide/drift around the corner, basically by making the vehicle wider you can lower its center of gravity without actually having to sacrifice ground clearance. Ford also required it to be refined enough to be a daily driver thus you only see semi beefy shock absorbers as apposed to full blown Baja style shocks with huge amounts of travel in the front and rear. So if you look at what the vehicle was designed to do meaning cross Baja style terrain at a high rate of speed, it literally is the best stock truck you can buy on the market today. Now on the other end of the spectrum you have Jeep, which was made specifically for going out in the bush/woods and running a muck. I personally don't like the 4 door version due to the added length I think at that point you might as well have bought a SUV, but that aside for the price it is the best thing you can buy stock that is on the market for going off road in a wood/mountain terrain, unless you want to fork out some extra cash for a Land Rover.
The Raptor was never intended to be the "Ultimate Off Road Vehicle". I don't understand how everyone seems to think that the Raptor is some god gift to off roading. It's not. Let's be clear here, it was designed first and foremost as a pre-runner style truck for running in the desert. The suspension and design on the truck was made for the desert. Sure, it can do some mild off road, but it will never be as capable stock for stock as a Jeep Wrangler, even moreso when modified. Don't get me wrong, the Raptor isn't a bad truck. But I don't get why the public seems to think that a desert rally truck is going to be a capable off road machine without extensive modifications to the opposite side of the spectrum. The truck was built too niche to be anything else without completely starting over.
so is that his personal truck(raptor)?
Isaac Newton yes it is ROMAN’s.
the most off road capable off road vehicle ?? have you ever heard of Land Cruiser 70 , Land Rover defender ...I agree on jeep can win the award of the most unreliable vehicle on the planet tho lol
Ara J UMMMMM DUDE .....NO....I know that wrangler would kick the crap out your stupid LAND CRUISER.....
aron john yeah right ...it will break down due to electrical problem and you have to find a tow truck to get it out of there
Ara J We were looking at off-road vehicles you can buy from the dealership currently. We have a lot of respect for the Land Cruiser 70 and Defender among others.
The Fast Lane Truck as far as a truck against a jeep goes. A smaller trd tacoma would have been a much better choice. I think the raptor is more for fast dirt roads and a trip to the dunes. Just to big and wide for this technical stuff.
Ara J ok?
I have had 4 Jeeps still have a 2005 Rubicon in the family. No problems with them very dependable. I've learned it's 80% is the owner.
Do you squat to piss? Ohhh, I might scratch my paint! Don't look at my wife's Hummer, you might faint at all the Sierra Nevada Pinstripes!
i find jeeps very unreliable ford are not the best but i know i love the raptor
The most capable off-road vehicle is the Mercedes G63 amg 6x6.
barraza jr my capable of making you go bankrupt
barraza jr hail no who wants to spend 250,000 for an off-roader city slicker mobile
Nah, 6x6 Hennessy velociraptor
Just a little momentum....yeah like a 100 mph
more power and coolness doesn't matter when you won't go through it! Jeep for the win!
Nathan your jeep fanboy is showing lol. I'd have to say a unimog or g wagen or defender or land cruiser is the best in the world.
Chevy blazer/Jimmy is a little better I think.. g wagen are surprising though. At least the old ones.
We can't buy unimogs in the states and the g wagen is in a different pricing stratosphere
headcas620 I'm a pretty huge 4x4 geek. Discounting the Unimog (hard to argue with portals, but god I wouldn't want to drive one daily), none of the other 3 you mentioned are better, in my opinion. That's why I bought the Rubicon instead of importing the others. The only category the Jeep loses in is load capacity (which is honestly quite pathetic). In all other categories, the Rubicon is the clear victor.
Dwealdric The Land Rover Defender is way better than any Jeep. I've tested both.
Marcelo F. Kawas That comment is so far off the mark I'd call you a liar.
A kia could make it through that lol
I tried it with the Ex's Forte and it didn't fair well
I dont understand why so many haters and thumbs down. great vid. im guessing so many haters cause they cant afford either the ford or the jeep
I drove that very same road when your mother and I had a picnic last week.
Raptor couldn't even pass Baja 1000 lol. Tacoma is the best off-road trucks in the world.
In the very beginning of development, a prototype of the Raptor was created just to test its might in the Baja 1000. They aimed to just finish the race but they actually finished 3rd.
CreativeNative That pretty low standard wouldn't you agree?
agree
frenklin misterioso Man someone finally agree with me!
The Raptor won the Baja 100, you dumbass troll
haha the worlds most powerfull truck !!!! oh wait little mud puddle
go spend 5 grand on a piece of shit chevy if you include price comparisons and what each truck is capable of who in their right mind would ever spend that much money on a truck like that
I don't like how they complain that the raptor is like the biggest truck, its a regular size truck and just awesome
I commend you Sir, for considering the Raptor. I wouldn't have done it either with mine.
That jeep is NOT the best in the world
RAJohnson713 neither is the raptor
Totally agree
Thankyou
Better than rapto

I think the problem nowadays with trucks is:
1: too expensive to scratch or bang up
2: not enough places to roam freely off road
3: too expensive to fix if you do bang it up
I would love to have a truck again but outside of winters it’s too expensive. Some of these trucks cost as much as a house now and they are not meant to last as long. I would love to have a Ford Ranger, Jeep or Ford Bronco but they are too expensive to bang up now.
Hummer H1, Land Rover Defender 90 and Mercedes Geländewagen is the best off-road vehicles depending on how mutch money you want to spend!
Both amazing vehicles!
The jeep wrangler and the Ford Raptor are my 2 favorite off road vehicles so when i clicked on this video i knew it would be good :D.
You say you have never been down the trail, and then when you get in the Raptor you say you don't remember what the trail was like? Huhh!
Really!! I've been waiting for the trail to show up all video. You need real drivers with a real trail!!
The only modification done to my liberty! Nothing! Just a set of Bf Goodrich all terrain tires, that's all :-)
Saying the jeep is the worlds best is pretty cocky, but he probs isn't wrong jeep offers the biggest bang for your buck, while a g-wagon could barely rockclimb like a jeep rockhard edition, people just don't want to admit how powerful the jeep is
The Raptor is VASTLY better at hustling down washboard dirt roads than the Jeep.
PLEASE COMPARE THIS TO THE RAM POWER WAGON OFF ROAD!! That would be awesome to watch
Most off road capable vehicle in the world? I'm gonna go with the AEV Brute!
Can't wait to see ZR2 challenge! That will be the best 2017 video!
6:00 in I decided I'm never clicking on another one of your videos.
If they think that's a lot of mud they should see my jeep lol
Serious 4x4 routes: Old Rubicon trail CA, USA; Atacama Desert Chile, Nairobi Desert Kenya, Climbing the "Ojos del Salado" Volcano - Chile, Western Australia Gibb River Road
Canyonlands Needles Park Service had a picture of a Raptor stuck at the squeeze just prior to Devils Kitchen just last week. It was tight in my Tacoma. Don't know what they were thinking...
Wow! I tow my off road truck with my super duty down rougher trails than that to go off road..
Thats why I like my old ford f-250 4x4. I have never turned around for fear of "scratching my truck". the truck was made to be worked. Not to look all pretty and win beauty contests. old trucks FTW!
Good grief, people ... everyone knows that the Wrangler and Raptor were built for two different off-road purposes ... these comparisons are primarily for fun but still provide some good info to laypersons who don't know. Stop taking it all so seriously. Or, if you think you can do better, do so and let us know the channel.
To sum up what some folks on here seem to be saying. It ain't REAL off roading unless you destroy the truck/jeep and get yourself sued out of existence. Then MAYBE they will be happy. So how much exaggerating did I do with my sarcasm?
A Baha purpose truck isn't the most off-road capable thing in the world. Well, what a surprise.
I own both, As a personal experience the Jeep is much better in mud while the Raptor is much faster in dry off road and medium jumps
Raptor is more suited for fast racing over a desert, ruts, etc. Jeep is a rock crawling, mud extreme offroad.
lol first funny thing he said, "Its deep, its deep, its hard" hahahahaha
1. mud terrains will always have an advantage offroad
2. HP is not gonna make a difference, especially in this trail
I love how he couldn't scratch the pain but at the end he didn't give a shit
apples to oranges comparison. A high-speed desert runner to a rock crawler?
That is one nice Rubicon!
Fast Lane Truck I loved this two part series video. I was on the market a year ago to purchase a off road vehicle I was able to eliminate the power wagon after a couple test drives and I was left with the jeep unlimited Rubicon and the svt raptor. Both amazing vehicles but after talking to a jeep dealer and adding a couple packages I was shocked to see the price of the jeep I wanted and after only being offered free car washes from them. I decided to go with my 2014 SVT Raptor crew cab ruby red special edition the main convincing point was the nearly $10,000 deference. The raptor was the right choice for me my family loves it, its reliable, it looks great, and its a good daily driver. I even convinced my father to purchase one a couple months later. The raptor being my first real new car purchase definitely leaves me happy. I will look forward to purchase the new updated raptor once it comes out a couple years later. Again great video ! Guys keep it up.
ROMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!! COME ON DUDE!!!!!!!!!! I hope you know that if you just kept going back and like you did on the last part used momentum and keep the gas to the floor. DONT STOP IF YOU MOVING DONT STOP!!!!!!
For off-roading specifically I'd say the jeep is better. That's just what the jeep is meant for, I mean sure the raptor is great but it's not just meant for off-road.
ForgotStyle I bought mine due to the 15 foot of snow on some of the roads.and chuck holes when it thaws out etc..
Llewellyn Cobb yea, thats a good idea.
Its a ford raptor????? Its a performaced version of the f-150. Its basically like a military spec truck. It is definitely better for off roading. Less chance of tipping and better traction
this truck shines in dessert racing or baja. I don't think a jeep could handle jumps.
I like you guys..... You are the next TOP GEAR I can think about!!!
Everybody knows a jeep is made for offroading no truck will ever be able to out offroad a jeep .
I understand not wanting to scratch the poo out of a new vehicle. I dont think anyone would no matter what kind of vehicle it is. However, you need an off road beast! Know what that is? Try out a 6x6 M35A2! The tree that was in the way, just mow it down and keep on going. I love off roading in these trucks! For Jeeps, yeah the newer ones seem to have a bad rep, but the older ones, they are truly the longest lasting vehicles on the road, inline 6 4.0L was probably the best gas motor jeep used.
Fun vid...but it’s really not a question that needs to be asked. Wrangler wins on angles, clearance, tires, lockable diffs / articulation, and weight. Raptor’s a cool truck don’t get me wrong but If you know anything about what helps you out in the woods you know how this was going to end. As soon as I saw those sidesteps I said game over.
That mafakka needs two parking spot ;)
they keep saying vehicle and not cars, but a yamaha banshee atv would destroy either of these cars off road
Not a jeep fan, but you'll never beat a Rubicon Jeep offroad.
The jeep reigns supreme. The Tacoma TRD pro could take on the raptor off road and beat it. Easily
First of all the Raptor is more of a desert prerunner than a rock crawler. That jeep, although a very nice vehicle, cannot run flat out
in the desert like a Raptor can.
There are many good qualities of many "off road" vehicles... but unless you've been there to drive a vehicle through shit and put it through the ringer, I'd say no one can really say anything worthy. My stock 96 XJ with light duty road this pulled through deeper crevasses, deeper mud, steeper inclines and at least 3 foot of snow with a layer of ice underneath and never got stuck. My own personal experiences would allow me to say that my Jeep kicks ass in many different scenarios. I just can't go over boulders or go through 5 feet of water. Which makes other off road vehicles better than my XJ.
+pcanlas Power wagon
this is what you get when a city guy in his city truck goes outdoors
Ultimate off road challenge, stopped by brush.
Hahaha. Even a child can do it with a sedan!!!!!
Most Zambians do trails like this every day as part of their commute in and out of the village. And they do it in Corollas and Tercels... A lot of Hiace vans (Toyota's version of the VW minibus) do this too.
Anyone who calls the Raptor the ultimate off-road vehicle should not be allowed to be around any truck at any time. They should drive a patty-wagon.
you're talking about something that was designed for off roading, vs something that can off road, but was also designed to do a bunch of other stuff. That rubicon wrangler wasn't even lifted that much i've got a niner that would rip right through that stuff light, fast, and lots of displacement in the 360 v8.
