You gotta admit....the driver has HUGE b@llz to send it like that. Glad he was ok.

There’s a bit of a difference between a truck that can land some whoops and someone sending it full PastranaEvery video I see of someone actually jumping a raptor ends up in broken shit all over. These trucks are not meant for what you think they are.

I noticed that too and figured ORM had them disabled (but the horn honked on impact?)
Jumping and landing on the down hill vs jumping and landing on the flat is a totally different thing and very, very few landings on the flat are successful, does not matter if it is a Raptor or another vehicle.Every video I see of someone actually jumping a raptor ends up in broken shit all over.

Everybody be like “dude, it’s not a trophy truck, POSEUR” and completely overlooking that dude jumped his Rap what - 150 feet - so far that he was
1) stunned, and probably concussed on the landing
2) set off the iphone/watch collision alarm
3) completely flat landed his ~5800 pound Raptor
4) Drove it away
And, drove it back to the site the next day.
“It’s not a trophy truck, POSEUR”...
Dude had an off the showroom floor Rap -with a fúcking twin panel moonroof that even I have MOCKED as not worthy of an off-road truck. Where’s the shattered moon roof? Where’s the shredded suspension components, bent frame, roof separating, bed coming off?
Anyone?
Yeah, he over drove the machine’s capability, but, he lived, the truck lived, and he was relatively unhurt and the truck was drivable.
I want to see another truck from another manufacturer repeat that feat.
I don’t think the dude had huge balls so much as he had a case of “don’t want to lose”, but either way, it’s tough to look at the video and throw shade on the Jen Too.
I mean, unless you’re a prius enthusiast.
No way a stock 2017 Raptor with a half tank of gas weighs 7000 lbs. Go get your truck weighed and get back to us.Where are these 5800 lb raptors? My 17 was a hair under 7000 with a half a tank. My 23 is 7250 same configuration. No way these trucks are that light, even the super cab.
