Love Jessi as a presenter, so enthusiastic!

@hisgal7172011 11 лет назад

I love the Raptor. I'm a Ford girl. I'll admit it. I love the looks of the truck, the fact that it's a truck, and the off road capability of it makes it even more awesome. I would love a Raptor. Dream truck.

@MotorTrendWatch 11 лет назад

Great description; that's exactly how I felt! Jessi

@saw4fire 11 лет назад

"Everything about it pushes you to defy authority!" The best line of the whole video.

@joshfrost7939 11 лет назад

i love it when they come to Utah, represent!

@TheSlapadabass 11 лет назад

Well all know you wrap your thumbs around the wheel while off-roading. That rock crawling was super intense too.

@sdlausen1 11 лет назад

If the next F150 is going to be 500-700 lbs lighter, I can only IMAGE how much better it'll be than this already awesome truck. GREAT job Ford. AMMEERRCAA!

@2KUSH11 11 лет назад

Jessi you should let me join you on one of these trips. Looks like tons of fun. I would love to go and do these events with these amazing cars like you do.

@soxphan9876 11 лет назад

There were two trucks used for filming on the rock crawling course, becuase they had different tires. One had the stock BFGoodrich All-Terrain tires and the other had BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain tires. The one Jessi said she used all day was the one with the mud tires.

@1godisthegreatest1 11 лет назад

Now that is awesome

@leskoby 11 лет назад

JT, nice video, actually would love to get myself and GF into this course for a day, looks like a lot of fun!

@spencedoggie1970 11 лет назад

i when on the ride along there... it was great!

@pleasantcrew 11 лет назад

I have feeling Ford is going to give her a Raptor for Christmas

@Nicksterzone 11 лет назад

I had the chance to go to this school and passed it up. SOB, I could've met Jessi.

@tremulant2388 11 лет назад

Not that she ever looks bad, but Jessi looked particularly fine in this episode. Also, Raptor school looks fun.

@BorderPatrol121 11 лет назад

hey jessi or motor trend hoping you could answer this please. I have a raptor as well, but had a question regarding the setting you used on the 900 acre desert section. im curious as to what the raptor technicians recommended in regards to 2wd vs 4wd and if you had the traction control in sport mode or all the way off. from my understanding the best way to go is 2wd locked differential with traction control completely off for mobbing in the desert. is this what you were using? thanks

@yaakovha1948 11 лет назад

Jessi to The Baja!:)

@the6cow6god6 11 лет назад

i do gotta agree with some of the comments i see, asmuch as i enjoy seeing jesse and listening to her talk about cars i would of loved to see her drive more and hear that beautiful ford engine, still, not a bad video.

@cal920c 11 лет назад

i'd love one of those just to go through my school parking lot...

@GordanMFreeman 11 лет назад

So, will it be possible to get the 6.7 Powerstroke Turbo Diesel on the Raptor?

@sickjohnson 11 лет назад

Do I detect that you like to do it in the dirt Jessie? Get your mind out of the gutter! =D Next you should try some winter rally racing! Ford are you listening?

@EZlover415 11 лет назад

Jessi + Raptor = Kid in a vehicular candy store \=-)

@bigghoss762 11 лет назад

Looks pretty tame. I probably could have done that in any random truck, even a 2wd.

@edgar4G 11 лет назад

@Josh Frost what part of utah cause I'm from there and i would love to go there.

@abdulbrm 11 лет назад

Definitely would be my future ride

@garamanth 11 лет назад

I would also ask - at the top of the hillclimb did you get out and check the road ahead? Even if somebody is guiding you, if you go in blind you have no idea what you're driving into. I'd be surprised and disappointed if they didn't go through the basics of walking the track and picking your driving line before entering an obstacle.

@wmff15 10 лет назад

shit i do this on a daily basis getting out of my driveway !

@DoctorYoda2 8 лет назад

@spencedoggie1970 11 лет назад

@e1r2i3k415 11 лет назад

Where is this?

@80hitultracombo 11 лет назад

Over 25 mph on the whoops -- whoopsie! Tee hee!

@fatboy19831 11 лет назад

Good point.

@1godisthegreatest1 11 лет назад

Is the Rapton better than the Silverado or ram runner

@JeepCherokeeful 11 лет назад

Why did they choose the crew cab?

@fluffychicken383 11 лет назад

how come a fancy truck like that doesn't come with dual pipes, one on each side or out the back?

@game2heart 11 лет назад

Hey Jessi! Do you still do car reviews on Roadfly TV?

@frankfhumbert 11 лет назад

anyone notice that the tires kept switching between bfg mud terrains and bfg all terrains?

@wallsbleedingin 11 лет назад

Does the SVT Raptor R count?

@cigardude7 11 лет назад

Looks like fun. I own a 2012 Raptor and it is a blast. Now for all you 4x4 guys, my Rubicon could out 4x4 the Raptor but the Raptor is much more comfortable at high speeds and it loves go jump. You got to take it for what it is and stop being so jealous. I am a GM guy through and through but they just don't have anything that compares, sorry.

@66dylanashley 11 лет назад

Thats built ford tough !

@mzb007 11 лет назад

wow corners and steep inclines :O

@6SpeedSilverado 11 лет назад

what do you mean the next? 2013 models? those are out already...

@droidrazor873 11 лет назад

That track looks like a gravel rosd around here.

@Murda2Wayz 11 лет назад

For this truck to have so much hype has it won any trophies or competitions

@doublepatty54 11 лет назад

This course is in Utah isn't it?!

@salmanbioshock 11 лет назад

exactly !

@trxguy84 11 лет назад

They call that rock crawling wow. Could have done that in a wrx lol. Come on motortrend lets see some real crawling!

@1370632 11 лет назад

lets see a wrx sti on that off road course!

@imprezasti305 11 лет назад

Flynmid... You're probably correct that some regular trucks may not have the ground clearance for the initial climb because so many have tried to make their trucks more car like to appeal to the city dweller that only hauls light loads once in a while; however, throw a real truck in there like a 2500 ram (or several others that stick to the real truck code)that is made for work, and they will walk all over this coarse with no problem.

@thegunkidnra9150 11 лет назад

im a Chevy guy but with the ford raptor i think i changed my mind go ford tough

@ImHereToAnnoyYou 11 лет назад

Yep good, I think you're getting it. Way to argue back at me what I've been telling you for the past 3 weeks or so. A simple "thankyou for schooling me" wouldn't go amiss, but whatever...

@mikeg_123 11 лет назад

Sadly, Ford stopped production of the Ranger in the US. It is newly designed, in a diesel only engine, not for sale in the US. It was competing against the F-150, so they cut it.

@nitrosport5 11 лет назад

2:23 isnt the same truck as 2:27 look at the tires. BFG all terains first, and then BFG mud terrains

@KomKash 11 лет назад

defy authority... HAHAHAAH

@davidinellicott 11 лет назад

ok I'm 39 and a yankee from the north, but back in 1996 I took my 1992 F-150 (modified with a 4"lift bigger tires, suspension etc) over some inclines that way exceeded this course. We made a game of it in MA "try to get to the party with your vehicle" which included huge unknown ascents and descents, you needed an assist person on the ground because it was night. Jessie come on this isn't offroading and Ford stop worrying about lawsuits.

@Answerzombies 11 лет назад

Wow dirt roads, super extreme..

@PKimpact 11 лет назад

Jessi, are you an angel?

@fatboy19831 11 лет назад

I want one too. I wish they made a Diesel Raptor.

@creativeganesh 11 лет назад

an STI or EVO on that track would be so much fun.. except the climbing..

@sanketanchan 11 лет назад

@exiledrabbit yeah you are the only one!

@Rallymania1 11 лет назад

I hate speed limits to the bone! Lol

@muertomaniaco 11 лет назад

cool

@DesuVR 11 лет назад

It's a training course, chill out, guys!

@jooka2010 11 лет назад

the tires they used in this test are not the stock tires the raptor is a baja ready truck

@Xiofuo 11 лет назад

Amen

@ali_films 11 лет назад

wrangler?

11 лет назад

Hahaha !! You are probably right regarding the presentation ;)

@Lukos0036 11 лет назад

Jessi you can afford one of these easily. Just go buy it.

@bmwmsport11 11 лет назад

They need to put the Ecoboost V6 in this.

@Daywalker_27 11 лет назад

3:24 Lol @ the amount of guys that would have said the same about her

@MrSlowestD16 11 лет назад

My thoughts exactly >.

@shagg90125 11 лет назад

I'm bored now and over it.... Moving on with life

@garamanth 11 лет назад

I enjoy watching Jessi's vids and I won't knock the truck, but I have to say... I don't think this qualifies as "intensive off-roading techniques" or a "white knuckle rock crawling course", nor does it come close to testing the 4WD capability of a truck like that. Even Freiburger and Finnegan did the same (minus hill climb) in a Dodge van and a Buick wagon on Roadkill. Put a winch on that Raptor and some recovery gear in the tray and find somewhere to see what it can really do...

@tahoebogzooz 11 лет назад

looool wa7sh wala!!!

@flynmid 11 лет назад

This video really has less to do with it's capabilities that it does about the school. Sure a regular truck could do parts of the course, but I seriously doubt a standard truck would have the ground clearance to do the climb at the beginning, or be able to handle the jumps like the raptor is designed for.

@0malleys 11 лет назад

@whatthedouch You just said that the Ranger was competing with the F-150. What are you smoking? The Ranger was as ancient as the Ten Commandments, it wasn't anything like the F-150.
