May as well get a Sierra Denali for the $$, that is if you're just looking for that much power. If you're looking for something that goes off roading, it's not likely you're going to use a new vehicle... It's that way with about 100% of people that I know.

The SVT would have cleaned up in that class.

I misread what you were trying to say. we are both saying the same thing.
I thought you were saying the hummer was basically the best 4x4. And your right, the ford is geared to baja. But, the funny thing is it will get used more like a jeep would.

Well you'd be dumb to buy the car if you weren't going to take it off road.

The difference here, to be blunt, is that the H2 and H3 were frankly built to be the mall queens most people bought them to be. Raptor, on the other hand, is the most capable production four wheel drive ever built by any domestic automaker. Irony? If actual capability is the primary criteria we employ here then Raptor would have fit into a lineup with the H1 far better than the H2 and H3 did.

Depends on how you define "Capable".

Care to list off the approach angle and departure angle, maximum grade, turning circle, etc. specs for the cRaptor? Just because it has a V8 and some big stupid tires doesn't make it more capable than any other vehicle? I'm sure there's some Jeep fans out there who would argue they have the most capable based on actual specs too.

The only thing I don't like about the truck is the FORD emblem across the grill.

Naw I didn't mean it like that. I just don't like the way the Ford emblem looks, they should of just stuck with the regular old Blue Oval.
