One Amazing Capability Ford Doesn't Highlight About the F-150 Raptor

[ncrapt]

Did you know that most performance vehicles these days come with tires with sidewalls that cannot hope to handle normal potholes or broken pavement. The Raptor can.

The Raptor has 35-inch tires, but just 17-inch rims. That leaves nine glorious inches of sidewall to tackle ruts, holes and rocks in the off-road truck world. In my world, it means you can drive over roads that would tear the end off of a normal car and just giggle as you roll on.

I'm convinced Ford built the Raptor exclusively for Michigan drivers, then word got out nationally...

The fusion can just skip over potholes...

If you know anything about off roading you know about the BFG A/T KO's and how good of a tire they are at most everything. One of the best all-around on and off road tires

Whoa, 1/2 ton pickups handle potholes better than sports cars, this is ******* ground breaking.

That IS amazing. They should do a commercial where a Porsche 911 and a Raptor both go over a pothole, and the Porsche gets a flat tire.

Everyone watching will be like "No Way,,,,," and they can have that Mayhem dude fade in and say "Yes Way..."

I am surprised they haven't marketed this better.
