Ford SVT Raptor, or Dodge Ram Power Wagon?

Paramedics probably fell down when the ambulance landed... If not... then.... for 3 people squished in there... There's not that much room!

Let's try to get this thread back on track guys.

Unloaded, I hope!

Out of respect for BRM...yes it was unloaded.

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".

Personally, I would MUCH rather have a Lightning.

And of course my truck could handle it...

You haven't taken your truck off road much, have you?

Seriously, for a truck to be able to stay planted at 80mph over rough stuff like the Raptor can do, it takes a seriously well designed suspension system.

Or some mad line-x on the rockers. Adds 110HP and articulation to the suspension.

Nope...everything up here is paved.......although I am hoping that when this global warming finally kicks it, Minnesota will turn into a desert.....then the compairson will begin.

Actually, it does the opposite. You've seen my timeslips, and my truck will hop sideways going straight on rough roads. :lolup:

I'm going to have to completely disagree with you on that one.

You're right....I should have stated, "any 4x4 fullsize truck"

You think the Raptor is the only full size truck than can drive over a mound of sand?

The truck is being marketed as a truck that can drive over/on sand....just look at all of the press photos ----> CLICK!

You take any 4x4 full size, throw on some BFGs and I bet it will have no problem keeping up with a Raptor. If I'm wrong, so be it.....but I think people would be surprised at how well a 'stock' full size could keep up with a Raptor. It may not be able to do it as easily or gracefully as the Raptor...but it would be able to do it.

Yeah, it could do it, and then it would break, and you'd be stuck.

If guys are having ball joints fail prematurely just driving on the road, you really think you could drive through the desert at 80mph with no problems? Sand gets pretty hard at those speeds.

Seriously dude. Wake the hell up, and give them some credit when it's due.

even a honda can do it multiple times.. and drive away.
