[QUOTE="MarkT, post: 115754, member: 3007"] I wouldn't call the Raptor, Rubicon, or Power Wagon a "production-based pure off road vehicle". The Toyota FJ Cruiser (and the legacy FJ's) are also very capable off road as are dozens of "production" vehicles that have been produced over the years. (Heck, my old 1973 Saab 99 with its flat floor, long travel suspension, and high ground clearance did a damn good job getting me across some pretty rough trails.) But Rubicons and Power Wagons are primarily designed for "crawling" across rough terrain. Crawling is something the Raptor can do a bit of, but a Raptor would not be my first choice... In my opinion, the Raptor started a class of its own. It is the first "higher speed capable" off road production vehicle... oh, a Rubicon or Power Wagon will get you down the same trails but not in the same comfort or at the same speed the Raptor is capable of. And that is definitely a first. [/QUOTE]
