I have NEVER been to a rock crawling convention and NEVER raced in a desert.



Slow and steady wins the race.

If you want to tear through potentially unknown terrain at breakneck speeds with those apprach angle specs in a $38K truck, be my guest. Real people don't take such risks.



I can build you an Air Cooled VW dune buggy that can go fast in the sand for a lot less than a raptor, and have a lot more fun with that because it's cheap.



They were buying H3's as fast as they could make them until the gas crunch.



Not sure how you can compare a 2010 design to 5 year old models. We'll never know what they were planning to come out with to compete with the Raptor. Even with the older design they have better offroading specs than the super military designed Raptor.



So now you're going to try and say that nobody is going to pimp out a Raptor? LOL!

Wanna bet that a LARGER percentage of total production never leaves the pavement and/or ends up with 26" rims????


Holy No Life Batman!
