I love ford stuff! But I also know that anything You buy from the factory is only Road ready. I agree with Joe Jaskot. this was idiotic. having said all that if they had calculated and Crafted an appropriate landing spot that jump could of been pulled off. they needed to land going downhill, a low grade berm would have saved the front end and kept them from flipping over.


My last 3 vehicles were chevys tho'

Shocks blown, tires blown, frame bent, airbags deployed, and thats just the stuff that you can see. No telling what disconnected or cracked mechanically. What a waste.
Never mind the CARFAX, show me the repair bill lmao.....

That's a write off for sure
Off to the scrap yard

Will he even be covered considering it's all his fault? Or is there some type if off road insurance?

Saw this yesterday. Made me LOL. Treating a stock vehicle like a Trophy Truck. They probably thought it would be fine because it's a "Raptor". It's just an expensive F150 with FOX Racing shocks :ROFL:

Anybody heard this story before? 14 guys took their Raptors out for some desert wheeling, 10 came back with bent frames. Typical Ford POS' :)

Ford did a redesign on the frame after that but they still are far from trophy trucks. The fox shocks aren't even in the same ball park as long travel suspension.

Exactly, I've never understood why everyone goes so crazy over raptors. I'd rather take my $45k and build a real truck, and by that I mean caged/linked.. and a chevy :D

People in the video are idiots.
