It surprises you? That raptor is based of a 20k vehicle while the range rover starts at something like 70k. The ranger rover is deigned to crawl over anything and never loose traction, it has something like 7 off road functions.
In these pulls you need computer power to control all 4 wheels, the range rover would "win" 8/10 times.
As much as you guys like to think that the f150 is the ultimate vehicle on the road in all aspects, its not.
I loved all the trash talking then he got pulled! I think the RR let up and that's when the raptor got to pull him, if they had kept going, the RR would have kept dragging him.
Those motors are pretty good down low.

I don't know about that, RR are pretty stout and are tested in crazy offroad extremes, way more extreme than the raptor.
It all comes down to tires so street tires to Ats offroad the raptor may pull him.
The Raptor tires are pretty street to but what killed him was the soft suspension which you can see hopping. If its hopping its not getting traction.

With the street tires on the RR vs BFGs on the Raptor, on dirt, I have no doubt the Raptor would pull the RR around. He wouldn't get hardly any traction with those slicks on and would just be spinning his wheels while being dragged backwards.
That model RR is made to crawl over parking lots, and that's about it. Give me a Defender!

And no that range rover is not for parking lots, that's just what most people that buy them use them for. Realistically they are EXCELLENT for tricky off roading.

Agree on the defender, 110 or 90! We have a couple brush trucks that use defender 90s. Fun as hell offroad!

lol... all these comments about who won.... I would have bet everything I had on the RR from the beginning. I posted it to show you how people can see signs of abuse first hand and still "have fun" while hurting their truck and not give a ****. I repeat, Poor Raptor
