Go to 1:21. You think your truck could do that?

To me, that "jump" didn't look too impressive. Like I said, the Raptor may be able to do it more gracefully, but I think 2010 Silverado/Sierra/Ram/Tundra/F-150 wouldn't break anything while doing it...but, I could be wrong....

I'm sorry (well...no I'm not), but I just don't find this truck impressive in the least.

I guess I'm missing "it". :dunno:

Oh well.

"it" isn't for everybody.

IMO I think that there is a lot of Respect that should be given to Ford for this truck... Its a truck that they built and it does what they said it would do! The give these trucks rigorous
tests to be able to do so...

The suspension is more advance than the average 6" lift with a wide stance and high grand clearance...

I dont care who you are but you could do any other truck Chevy/Ford(Not Rapture)Dodge and try to complete the same things that the Rapture was meant to do and the other trucks would fall short and break..... Doesnt mean I want to buy one or switch brands or anything insane like that! Just saying... Respect shall be given where it is due!

Now, if Ford did this with the Ranger and a 5.4... Then maybe... :lol:

They're half way there:
