Oh.... that hurts...

Exactly why I want me some real sliders. I'm just not good enough to avoid it, so the best I can do is prep for when it happens.

Can you guess the story behind this picture?



Hint: The driver apparently wasn't the owner.

Petersens 4 Wheel testing the Raptor rock crawl ability?

A for effort.. D for execution.

Looks like someone is trying to make an orange taste like an apple. Things like this drive me crazy, you wanna rock crawl? Get a Jeep.

Ouch! Someone needs some sliders. Whose truck is that? Didn't know the steps would just break like that, they are rather weak after all (knew they weren't rock worthy but damn). Guess I'll be replacing mine.

Why? I posted pics of some preproduction Raptors being tested on Hell's Revenge in Moab by Ford. Its pretty obvious the truck can do it.

Nope.

I've done plenty of rock crawling in my Raptor (and other large sized vehicles). The Raptor can do it all. It's not a Jeep but then, Jeeps aren't Raptors. And I'd say that the Raptor can do Jeep better than the Jeep can do Raptor

By the way, the ripped running board was reportedly done by a writer doing a "test drive". And we all know how much auto "journalists" care about being nice to the vehicles they're driving. (It was Ford's truck).
