The amount of droop in the rear is pretty impressive with those long trailing arms. Really helps make up for the shortcomings in flex from the IFS and keeps the thing planted.

Yep, yet (just like a Jeep) you still need an aftermarket plate steel rear bumper to come down on, and despite the 37’s, the belly plates just aft of the front wheels are your friends.
Interesting to watch. Would like to see them do Rubicon as a comparison to the Bandlands / Squatch width and height.
Brings back great memories of my days (long ago) stationed at Ft. Irwin, CA when I drove a HMMWV for a living in the High Mojave Desert. Can't wait for my Raptor!

Those rigs crawled through that rock garden with confidence. I didn’t see any of the raptors equipped with a winch…
Allow me to ask a noob question as I'm just getting into off roading. From like 2 minutes in on the video where they are just inching along, is it actually fun to go 200 yards in 20 minutes when you could pretty easily just walk? It just seems to me like an hour of that would become very tedious very quickly.
It’s a blast. Even more fun when those boulders are twice the size, sitting in slick mud and there are also trees and stumps to avoid. The trails I do in New England take all day and you may put 3-4 miles on your rig
I like the range of suspension, still needs belly plates thats not gonna change all Broncos need em. I was going to do some upgrades to the BL I ordered, but with the Raptor I pretty much wont change much except plates. Meets everything I would ever need and keep the factory warranty.

All questions are good! Well, at least for me personally, moving 200yds in 20/30 minutes is the fun of it all. It's the challenge of conquering the rocks and the trail, enjoying the outdoors and the scenery and especially if you are in a group, just the comradery. It's the slow pace of it all that is the fun in it I guess... I think (hopefully) once you start, you will get into it and start to realize all the benefits...!
Right! It’s the fun challenge of group problem solving while being amazed your machine can actually do that.All questions are good!

The trails in the Pacific Northwest are very narrow. This is to wide for a lot of them.
Great to see wheeling but was expecting when the title is durability test it would actually be doing things a less mindful driver would do like loading up on one tire and getting on it or turning into a ledge and see what breaks.
