Not sure what the point would be otherwise. "Gee, my 650i can't climb that curb" wouldn't be much of a revelation to anyone.
But a BMW being a more capable road machine is somehow a revelation?

Yeah but you can say all of those things for a Honda Ridgeline, too. And the Ridgeline will have better handling.
If by "outperformed" you mean more horsepower and better 0-60 times, yes you are correct. Unfortunately for driving enthusiasts, BMW built its reputation on handling and that went to shit with the bloated e60. There's a reason good e39 M5s are going for $40k while the newer e60 M5s can be had for $20k.

Seems it is to some.

you can only say ALL those things about the honda ridgeline if you didnt read any bit of what he posted lol.
you blind?
I guess it depends on what you mean by handling. If it is going fast around corners, the Raptor is pretty darn quick with a driver that is not afraid of a little oversteer. As the saying goes, "Anyone can drive a fast car, but very few people can drive a car fast".
This is absolutely false. The Ridgeline is no where near as quick as the Raptor, has a dinky tow rating, and absolutely will not handle bumps of any size anywhere near as well (and some of us live where pot holes are actually more like sink holes). And you definitely can't drive over a curb without scratching a rim and in all likelihood you'd bend a rim and blow out the tire if you did it at any real speed (some may not care about this but I'm not too proud to admit that I've accidentally bumped the curb a time or two at the Starbucks drive through).
The payload is actually not terrible, but with a tiny interior and even tinier bed, where are you going to actually put anything?
I think of the Ridgeline as an Accord with a cute little bed in the back.

I think you're confused.
Good lord, the Raptor is an absolute pig in the corners. Have you only driven dump trucks before?
The comparison was Ridgeline to X5, not Raptor
