The raptor has yet to really be compared to anything in an intelligent manner. And likely WONT be... because... there is nothing else compareable out there... It's in it's own category, quite literally.

It's an off road high speed performance truck and most comparissons have been done on pavement.
Dumb. Period.. Comparing it with haulers and crawlers & work trucks.

The comparisons claiming it lost due to the 5.4 L engine feeling sluggish with the 35's..... well.. look at some of the other trucks in the comparisons they do... it's a joke...

I am interested to see how the 6.2L engine will fair as it will be on the road within the next few months.

I suspect that even on the retarded pavement tests.. the 6.2 would have been more impressive... But really, articles like that motor trend article.... Special Olympics rings a bell..

No better than a lot of the stang vs chally vs maro articles.... The more I read the less I care what the reviews say.

Since when is a Journalist who managed a test-drive an expert. Not to mention the biases.
