haven't seen any reports of guys bending their frames from loading their trucks up, just reports from guys driving like azzholes beyond the capability of the truck.

so let me ask this question for those that know more about offroading / these trucks.

the jump i posted in my vid is proably about 6" high and 10 ft or so.

i figure once it's dry out, i should be able to get another 10-15mph out of that hill and get some more height / distance.

from everything i've read, the landing looked "correct" as in your supposed to go front first to both at the same time, but not rear first.

how far / high could a jump like that be done. i've got to be honest, it was fun as hell, and i'm excited for some dry ground to see how much more i can get out of it


how's this for an answer? :)

you know, there was this swedish chainsaw that had a warning "do not stop chain with ********".... I think ford needed a similar warning "Do not stop radiator fans with ********" then they wouldn't be hearing from me.... I say its a design flaw...

look the raptor doesnt need a new frame or anything crazy under normal driving conditions this isnt a raptor trophy truck its an f150 raptor based on an f150 is some hit the kicker with an fx4 at half the speed and bent the frame you would say that guys an ******* and not ford but people are driving theys trucks way to fast over obstacles that are way to big way to fast and then saying ford should do this or that or put a bump stop on the truck thats what the aftermarket is for to take a perfectly fine vehicle and making it more suitable for you and what your going to be doing with it

Easy there Reptar.... look around, you're in Jersey. How would you know what the capabilities of this truck are?
