Ford Ranger Raptor vs Jeep Wrangler Rubicon - off road legends tested Autocar
video description
Hooning is fun but should only be done somewhere safe. Problem is as you mention someone who doesn't know what they are doing can do lots of damage. I spend lots of time having to teach slow control as too many people see speed and the Clarkson effect. I see pics of roll overs, crashed and broken trucks.
I have taken Raptors off road and while they look a long way off the ground they hit the centre ridge in ruts worse than an old Discovery on standard tyres. The Raptor is too wide for most UK off-road places.
I realise that I am dealing with a small minority of real world users.
Those I've had at our site with the ordinary Ranger have complained about its size in UK towns, villages and country roads. The Raptor is even wider.

Could these two be more boring if they tried, I had to switch off even though I was interested in the content, shame. The chap in the glasses didn t seem at all interested, he should be working from home, he can then toss it off in the comfort of his own home and not bore the f out of us. Perhaps the Aussies will do a comparison they do these things much better.

Would have been superb to have the New Defender doing the same tests. I've had one off road and I suspect it would be exceptionally good. Raptor is excellent for going fast over a longer distance off-road, which really would be the question if the New Defender could keep up with air suspension doing the work?

Kind of a pointless test. The Raptor is built for tearing up tracks, rally stages, dunes, beaches ect at full attack. you barely got it out of 4th gear if you're going to drive like these guys a standard Ranger will be fine

In Australia our Ranger Raptors have nearly 300Kw which is almost 400hp so not sure if the 288hp claimed in this video is wrong or the regions are varying a lot in terms of power

Man, wish the RR was available in the US. The F-150 is too wide for a lot of trails in the Appalachians where I wheel and camp.
