But it would literally get destroyed if it followed a Raptor into the desert.

True enough, but I'd say sales wise it is potentially a direct competitor. Brand Vs Brand.
I guarantee half the people buying raptors won't be seeing any deserts or dunes in those Baja machines.
Same as Camaros.... how many people will ever race one or really step on the gas pedal outside of city driving.
Intended purpose of a vehicle or vehicle capabilities mean very little in the consumer world for a fair chunk of buyers.
How many Camaro's sold to date were v8's? With RS package? :P
