Some people sure are ignorant about the Raptor

I found this post to be interesting.


Lots of guys thought they would be the answer for travelling oilfield roads but that couldn't be any farther from the truth.

I wasn't the only Raptor owner cruising the West Texas oilfields! Although the SRT is technically a "Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV), I wouldn't expect to see one offroading like you would a typical vehicle sporting Jeep badges. I really like the Jeep SRT, but it's more of a novalty vehicle than a Jeep. Also, I'm not sure how much has changed but I had a friend who owned a 2000 Jeep Cherokee and parts suppliers had the Cherokeee listed as a "Station Wagon."


Now to be fair, this poster lives in Canada and presumably works there as well. The Raptor was built for more desert environments, not Polar expeditions.

Meh...I think those Jeep Cherokees look like mini vans... And those ones are more expensive than the Raptor.

Could not agree more with you on the mini van thing. Wife considers herself a Jeep girl at heart but won't buy one since they changed body styles a while back. They even have the same little spoiler that the vans have.
Don't know why others have to hate the Raptor, they should just fear it.

Leave it to a jeep guy to talk trash about other vehicles even if you're the one pulling him out of a rut. Trust me. I would know coming from a hummer

Oh crap...I knew I should have gotten a PowerWagon. I didn't realize what an amazing off-road vehicle it was until that navyavi469 pointed it out. May e I should take him for a little spin sometime and see if be still has the same thing to say a out the Raptor. Someone should link this thread to that page and get those d bags on here :wizserious:
