[QUOTE="JP7, post: 15828, member: 223"] Agreed - as a writer (know the feeling) you need to project as unbiased an opinion as possible, while still giving a comparative review of the subjects. Not an easy task sometimes when both vehicles perform well. The fact that the Dodge was favored by you and your team - admittedly caused some waves here {i can't find the damn thread to post} but you did your job. Naturally, us "opinionated" Raptor owners will disagree with a few of the points made in that write up - but hell - thats what forums are for! It's all good - The 3 big guys make some good vehicles - us here think the Raptor is one of the best ideas Ford has come up with (since the early 70's) and we share our likes/dislikes/experiences here. Chev's come out with a new weapon in this field - and undoubtedly it will be pitched against the Raptor -even though its a 3/4 ton. Intentionally, as with the Dodge solid axle front end - there are enough differences to cry wolf - it will be interesting to pitch all three in a comparative test. I propose the testing grounds encompass all aspects of offroading - sure the desert/baja mode is a great test of agility - but there are other types of offroad usage that 4 wheel drive vehicles should be evaluated by including hills, water, mud, rocks, and trails. If we want to spit out Chev off the bat - add in "limited parking - less than a 3 point turn to find a parking spot at the local mall" :) Sean, your input will be valuable here - not taken to task as "thou shalt complete these tasks" - more in a friendly way as to what some of us will be looking for in future reviews, and how Raptor owners can assist. We aren't looking to be the undisputed best truck out there - but several of us think that Ford made a good decision in the construction of this vehicle. I for one, would pit mine against the competition, in a well rounded 4x4 competition. Cheers, JP [/QUOTE]
