2017 Raptor Test Footage and Getting Stuck in Sand

[CatchMeOffroad]

For a group of engineers they weren't so bright trying to pull the stuck Raptor backwards. The elevation difference between the two vehicles would make that next to impossible.

Yup they were definitely not the brightest bunch. The driver thought told them that the only way to get his truck out was to pull from the rear. Obviously that didn't work since the truck was on the front slope of the hill. I was surprised that some of the older more experienced guys didn't chime in.

Either way, it was pretty entertaining for me to watch

Agree, also not likely using the front crawl cam either. Otherwise they would have rolled it like a speed bump.

I'm not sure if it was in 4x4 when he drove up the mound, but after he got stuck it definitely was because I was watching all 4 wheels spin. The thing that's hard to see in the video is that his front right wheel was barely in contact with the ground, and the belly of the truck was touching the top of the mound.

Just think how stuck a 500 lb heavier Jen I would have gotten. They'd still be there digging it out...

Thanks, good find. Awesome video. Too bad the quality isn't great.

if my Gen 1 was stuck on an anthill, and nothing was broken to make excuses, on video, I would kick my own ass and Hennessy the truck on the spot.

Quality isn't good but by far the most detailed look at these things yet. Nice find

How was this posted yesterday? Unless it was someone else that posted it. Many of us saw this video a few months ago. Regardless pretty detailed video.

I thought the video looked incredibly familiar too. It was just fuzzy enough in my memory for me to think it may have been new.

Well that makes me as well...wasn't sure if it was de-ja-vu or what?
