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
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.
