It barely fits in the bloody car park. So bad for pedestrians and the environment.

They really don't make much sense on roads, but have you driven one off road? It's so much fun.

Interesting I always thought they would be a bit impractical off road due to their size and weight compared to a LandCruiser

[–] curiousaur@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They are both better at different types of off road environments. The raptor was designed as a Baja racer, referring to the Baja 1000, a very punishing desert race. If I was crawling through the jungle I'd rather have a land cruiser.

Fair enough, I suppose they're a bit less tippy than a Cruiser as well

Oh man, those raptors look so amazing for off road. There is a Grand Tour where Hammond drves it through the Candian Rockies. Way too much money for me, but super awesome truck for the back country.
