GEN 2 New Raptor, sharing space with a Gwagen.

[Racemetal]

After a long time contemplating, I finally picked up a Raptor this evening. Drove it home and did my first "off road hill climb." Not exactly Pikes Peak but it's all I've got at the moment.

Brought out the Gwagen for a little comparison since both are subtle colors. They are totally different and amazing in unique ways. Never truly realized how HUGE the Raptor is!! Both units are on KO2s which are fabulous tires. Articulation is awesome and I'm loving the Raptor! Such a super cool ride!!
Thanks for all the amazing content on this site!!

Nice my friend! Welcome to the Rap family and the ride of your life. The Rap is truly an amazing vehicle both on and off road. Let your fun begin!

Congrats on the new Raptor. Always fascinates me that the GWagon has basically been the same vehicle since the 1970's. I guess when you get it right the first time it sticks.

Thanks for all the kind words. Yes, the Gwagen is an ancient anomaly. The Raptor and the Gwagen are unique characters, no doubt. Totally different driving experiences. 563hp in the Gwagen and it's a luxo box that hauls like hell. The Raptor feels huge and the ride and performance are stellar. We're lucky to live at a time when you can buy 500hp+ vehicles that are reliable and have warranties. I lived through the '70s when hp was hard to find and cars were absolutely miserable engineering flops. The options we have today are incredible!
Cool stuff!!

Nice Gelandeswagen.

If you have time then schedule the Raptor Assault course in Utah. If you don’t go off road then it should impress you the capabilities of the truck. The Gwagen is sweet as well as I saw the German army using them to carry them around in the war zone. Not sure if they were uparmored or not.
