Okay, so if this is what the Raptor is so "good at", then I'm still not impressed.....

Filming scheduled for next weekend.... 
But seriously, I haven't seen that Raptor be exceptional at anything, besides selling like hotcakes. If I wanted an off-road/jumping/dirt-dominating machine for over $50 grand, it would be lighter, more powerful, and cheaper. But it also wouldn't have a/c, stereo system, nav, and a warranty.
Pretty sure if something bends or breaks while off-roading or jumping your brand new Raptor, the warranty claim will be denied. Somebody buy one & break it, and let us know.

Buy it, break it, and wonder why - that is what Raptor owners do. Just like Ford Lightning owners. They buy it that way, we GM guys build it.

Yes they are, i read about it the other night, and i started laughing when i read what you put below because infact they did deny the guys claim that posted up on that board with the pictures..
Guess the almighty raptor isnt as tuff as it put out to be..
And now with this, the new mustangs tranny problems, the few ecoboost problems ive heard, id say ford's getting really close to going down the wrong road quality wise..

Oh Gawd here we go! "I didn't think anything bad would happen when I jumped my 6000 pound truck four feet in the air!" Friggin dumbass Ferd drivers. It comes as absolutely NO surprise that the retard from the high school days who thought the V6 Mustang his daddy bought him for graduation would beat my 440 Challenger is now driving a Raptor. If any of these ****** had ever been in the same room as a frame machine and string gauges they'd know that 4 wheeling bends frames! What the **** are they expecting?!!! Morons!

This does not surprise me at all. Raptor customers are going to brake there trucks and ford will not warranty anything inless the trucks have no scratches on the underside, sounds like no one will be having there trucks repaired under warranty, well except for those pavment pounding drivers that bought ther truck just to look cool on the street.

This is from Ford themselves.
