Definitely a fairer comparison. The driver-friendly Raptor easily runs circles around the Ram Runner. I too truly wish it was set at mid-perch... hard to watch it on the whoops, but that was what I looked like banging around at TRR on low-perch (that is all being fixed now

The Ram appears to be a one-dimensional, mostly out of control big whoop jumper with a lot of travel - that does great in a straight line. But what good is all that long travel if you can't keep it on the track... Sooner or later will hear a loud BOOM!!! when it goes off the rails. Seems somewhat predictable when bolting on a suspension kit to a regular ol' pickup truck.

The Raptor on the other hand was designed (by SVT no less) from the ground up as a Baja pre runner - including extra width & tight predictable steering/handling on and offroad. It is the real deal!

It is truly a joy to drive and I look forward to climbing up in that beast and letting it rip everyday! For those who take big whoops and punishing terrain - the Raptor is easily upgraded which I am doing now :BIG GRIN!:

Ram runner is just a one trick pony.

Dodge will sell a bunch of these. I have to admit,I'd like my Raptor to look a bit more like a works truck and be a few hundred pounds lighter. But that said,I'd NEVER buy a dodge. Even if it was better across the board and cheaper. Now if it were better and cheaper and was a chevy..............

Cool video regardless of the known outcome - always fun to watch a Raptor being skillfully hooned

One thing I would like them to mention is the fact that the Raptor meets all the DOT requirements. That is what kept the Raptor from being the ultimate truck SVT wanted it to be (and the fact the assembly line was to narrow). I do not think the RamRunner would pass as it sits in that video. Some local state inspections would reject that truck.

Maybe do some thing like the 24 hours of Baja and then watch that Dodge tranny go bye bye.

How do ya think you're tranny's going to do if you pushed your Raptor tranny for 24 hours in Mx?
