Ultimate uphill CHALLENGE - Attempting Matt’s Offroad Recovery’s Impossible Hill! 

Thank you SO MUCH to everyone who has engaged with us on this post! We're big fans of MORR so we appreciate the support! Subscribe to be a part of our BIG OFF-ROAD GIVEAWAY coming VERY SOON!

I watch a lot of Matt's videos -- he's made it up sand chute many times in one go. The day it took all day the sand was super hot and super dry and very deep powder sugar sand. This video had cool and rain on the day there. Matt could do it in two wheel drive under those conditions. Not that your truck isn't cool, but it's apples to oranges. edit: I'm only saying this so people who don't know who Matt know that was not typical for him. #mattsoffroadrecovery

Yep. Sand conditions are much different than when Matt and company were there

To be fair, Matt's wrecker was there in much dryer sand, overheating, failings alternator, unable to air down all tires, disabled lockers and it weights 11 to 12 thousand pounds.

Wet sand is a game changer but the rapter did good for sure.

The bronco that was with Matt made it up in one shot

Why can't some of you just enjoy the video? The Raptor is a beast, and its only as good as the driver. Just give them their props for making it up the hill. Everyone seems to be getting so upset over nothing. They didn't say not 1 negative thing about Matt or anyone for that matter. Just like, subscribe, share, and be happy . Great video guys, i pray that one day I, too, can afford a Raptor. I've been wanting one since I was 18 years old 🤞

I just want to say - I appreciate how you stay polite when responding to some of the comments that attempt to criticize. On video the sand did look a little wetter than on Matt's video. But that Raptor R is a beast. Enjoyed the video.

It's been a while, but I believe that Matts New Vehicle wasn't quite done, didn't have some gearing or locking it would have later, and also it had new tires, which suck in the sand because they like to dig more than go. The other guys Bronco went right up which surprised the hell out of me but also made sense. Relatively light compared to the tow rig, and capable of holding momentum over sand. One of the biggest issues, was that they sent up the vehicle that would destroy that road FIRST, so all the vehicles that went later had to basically breach these giant freshly turned holes, which even filled were sand traps. It was a perfect storm of difficulty and sketch decision making. I believe the Tow Rig would probably do better today with it's current configuration, but it's biggest deficit there is weight. It has plenty of power, but even with large tires (hopefully much balder now), its just a heavy beast to float on a grade. The Raptor did well. Kudo's for the unbridled courage to try it in the evening.

Man! I was lifting my own butt off the couch trying not to hit any rocks along with you! Tense! Great video, you guys. Always.

The banana made it up pretty easy, so it definitely had something to do with the power to weight ratio, the wrecker couldn’t lock the hubs because they didn’t have the air lockers all the way hooked up and the sand conditions was definitely different by the looks of it. I’ve never been there but I would say the raptor would be able to make it up easier then the heavy wrecker with less horsepower and a unlocked dif

So nice to finally see someone air down enough in a YT video. Those tires were squatting the right amount for sand. I hope Matt sees this and realizes he hasnt aired down enough in any of the videos I've seen, and I've seen all of them for a few years now. Those Patagonia tires Matt worships are way stiffer then the BFG's on this Raptor and need even less air. I ran 2psi in the 33's on my old 67 CJ5, which topped the scales at a mere 2000 lbs and I've been up worse sand hills than this with little effort, or in 2WD when the sand isn't super dry.

These gentlemen are throwing no Schade at Matt off-road. They’re just there to have a good time and use it Matt as a comparison, big balls, gentlemen for going out there by yourselves.

Great video and awesome challenge you guys undertook. In sand, HP is the king and the Raptor has plenty of it. And I'm sure driver skill also had something to do with it...

Contact Matt and go out with him during different sand conditions

Jeffe' nailed it with the Bronco too.. cheers both 👍😎✊

Glad you made it. but the sand is wet and made it a lot easier for your truck. The color of the sand shows how wet it is under dark skies. The sand when hot and dry robs tons of power from vehicles. I'm an avid sand dunner and grew up with hill shooting sand dune trails and tall sand dunes. Others may not know their vehicles and should not try this like you have. The best tires besides paddle tires are low pressure balding or bald tires to maintain full float. You don't want an aggressive mud tire that will dig down. I also drive a 2006 Dodge 4x4 with lots of power, while doing a muddy hill climb, while following a fellow friend, my truck shut itself off cause I was hitting a limiter that I didn't know it had. I thought that I had blown it up while having fun. I know that it would shut my truck off trying to climb this hill. I also own modded raptor and a sand rail, those run paddles since their light

So many excuses as to why they didn't make it. So far all I can say is that you guys did great !! And by the way it seems the two most stock vehicles were the most successful. You two did fantastic for being there for the first time and so did both of the FORDS.

Sweet video gents! I always appreciate cool guys willing to do cool stuff, so keep it up!

Paul from Fab Rat's tow truck did really well on that hill until the water pump seal let go after getting to the top. Your truck is definitely set up for that type of terrain with the power to weight ratio working in your favor.

Enjoyed watching. The damp/wet sand is a big difference but the Raptor really pulled well. Airing down was also a very wise move ;)

Woah!! Kevin Bacon off roading. Good times 😅 The sand is way different when its super dry and has very little cohesion. Give it a try under those conditions. Great video. Its always nice to see the desert west!

I think people are missing the point, they showed that it is possible with what they have and didn't throw shade at anyone.

Matt cars are under powered, with ancient and slow transmissions. Hefe's Bronco made it up no problem, just like you guys. 10 speed dual clutch does make a huge difference.

Great job well done Iv just bought 4 ko2 last Friday you definitely ticked ✅ my impressive

Great video and run up a nasty sand hill. Subscribed!

Condition of sand makes a difference, but in sand, power is really what you need. It's one of the few things that power over comes traction.

It's nice they stress test the trailers in conditions they will be normally in.

Are they trying to say they are better than Matt ,waken up guys ,you are off my things to watch .

As Matt often says, sand conditions change every day. 😉

They took 2 days get Matt's wrecker out because the lockers didn't work and one tire they couldn't are down. His other 3 vehicles bronco, jeep and morvare went right up it. Now the sports car didn't. They had to drag it out. But I liked your video. Thanks

Sick🔥

Stopping video at 1:10 and saying you will not make it the first time without stopping, no way. Now I'll watch and see. Ok I was right, but you did it rather easily on the 2nd and 3rd. Sand definitely takes some HP and speed to stay on top of the sand blast over it and you've got the right wheels for that! Big sand hill in Michigan killed my stock Yamaha TT500 back in late '70's, so over winter had engine stroked and cammed and blew that same hill away with ease!

U guys made it look easy! Loved watching yall mash it to the top!

Way less sand than matts video. Mad how areas can change so much in just months.

You said your friend you can call is Paul Rodgers, is that THE Paul Rodgers? That would be some Bad Company. Cool!

Some years back we did some testing of airing down on Jeeps and mini trucks. We found that when we went below 10 psi the contact patch got worse, it maxed at around 10. What happens is that the center part of the tire folds upwards when you get too low. The ideal case is when the pattern is flat. Try it in flat soft sand and see for yourself. Will vary with vehicle weight etc.

Plenty of factors to compare, like sand temperature / wetness level + vehicle weight etc. But honestly the biggest flex for Matt is that he went up there with a cool truck that he built himself from scratch. Doing the same in what appears to be a stock Raptor R just doesn’t hit the same satisfaction. (Disclaimer, I don’t know this channel, so I assumed these guys have not done mods on their raptor)

Awesome vid, and looked like a fun time. I'm the type of person that would want to try that in my basically stock Silverado on 35's, even if I knew it was a 'bad' idea! A lot of Matt's troubles when he was there were self inflicted, lockers not working, not aired down enough, not to mention how heavy that wrecker is. And not to take anything away from that beast of a Raptor, but the conditions looked worse to me on Matt's video. The sand that day was a lot deeper. I don't remember seeing so many rocks in the trail. But either way, great job guys and thanks for sharing your adventure on the chute!

Good job guys !! keep up !

You can tell in your vid that the sand conditions were not the same,in Matt's the sand was like flour.Was your attempt the same time of year and same conditions.Remember , to hat terrain changes daily.But great job.

Yeah those clouds that just brought that rain that pre moistened the sand in your favor.😂

Matt’s off-road has made it up in one shot by themselves !

The 10 speed automatic helps keep the engine in the power band

Nigel thornberry 😂 90s kid for sure

Great work guys. Big balls to go down at 7, but great video. Wish I could do that…

Impressive.

Jefe's Bronco made it all the way out, all the others had to be pulled out, the sand was dry and powdery. Did I hear you say it was raining? I think it you would have been down there with Matt and them on that day you would have been pulled out. Also the wrecker had problems with the lockers and had to come back the next day and fix it.

God the haters are a mile deep on here😅

It was just a different time. I would take Matt''s Movair or Banana any day of the week. For one 37" tires are always better.

This was fun to watch! Now do it while dragging a Porsche out 😂

Man that looks so much easier than when Matt did it

C'mon..... You can clearly see the conditions were way different. All of Matt's vehicles would have crawled right outta there with the that sand. Gimme a break.

Drone shows how steep it is the best. IMO.

That Raptor R sounds so awesome. Great video ! Keep up the great content.

Just saying go try some rocks behind matts banana that where driving comes in ..LOVE MATTS OFF ROAD RECOVERY. MORR.

Those Ford raptors are one badass truck

I love seeing that grocery getter be put to work! 😁

Sand conditions are much different then when Matt was there. How much moisture that is in the sand makes it an all different animal. You did a great job anyway though.

Almost like it's a Ford thing. The other vehicle (a guy that worked for Matt) that made it look easy was a Bronco.

Matt knew it would be a sand trap on a hot day, your evening stroll up and down made the most of then conditions.

I you watched the episode you would of seen that the Bronco made it the first try.. the problem was the big heavy wrecker tearing up the road.. and that weak porsche suv

Heat changes the sand😀good job

Their bronco did it in one shot just like this raptor. The power really helps. But yes built for completely different things. Especially matts wrecker was the culprit of the 2 day rescue.

Matt and Rory will be shocked 😳😂😂👍🏻

great video!

If I was forced to own a newer four wheel truck a Raptor is what I would get, but nothing beats my 1985 Chevy square body truck with Dana-60 front, Corp-14 bolt rear, and Detroit lockers.

That’s one bad truck!

These guys must live in the city. OOOooo theres rocks. OH and sharp rocks. City folks.

Yeah.. Sand definitely more packed… but still interesting.

Those glasses, are a bit, too cool, although You look marvelous!

Looks a lot more rocky and less sandy than when Matt went out. I'd be interested to see ya go out with him.

Raptors are the coolest vehicle out of the box. Love my gen2.

im tellin ya it's the newer transmissions that can lightning fast switch gears to just what you need. it's probably the same reason the bronco made it up in one try

Sterling is a Stud! Raptor R for the W!!

i knew it would be no issue just like it was no issue for jefes bronco in matts video wheel speed is king

When there was four rigs going up and down loosen up the sand and then it's tough let's see that POS do it then

The hairstyle gave the rapturd I mean raptor an extra 10 horsepower. Lol

You did it in one of the most expensive trucks on the market....Oh good for you, that was all vehicle nice Ford commercial 👍

That was awesome!!

When in doubt, power out.... and to do that you've gotta have a FORD!! Will be cool to see if Matt takes the 45 sec challenge.

Well done. Like said in below comments, the sand is different every day. But still well done!

Imagine that engine in the moorvair. It would be insane

Damp sand is very different than that powder Matt had. You’re going to have to do it again.

Nicely done.

Your tyres are giving an awesome sand footprint.

What a country we get to live in. Your sweating in the dessert im freezing my butt off at the ocean.

Raptors make everything look easy...and looks good doing it :)

You has good sand conditions. Well done thought.

It was cool boys, but you got to remember that sand was different too.

Raptor is kinda made more for those conditions than the 12,000 pound truck. Also the sand looked to be almost compacted here. You didn’t sink in Not defending anyone or Putting anyone down, just trying to look at the reality I haven’t driven that sand, but having spent time on some dunes, conditions make or break a ride Nice work though. Well played

Great video gents!!

When I’m doing stuff like that, traction control completely off and just in sport mode. I hate the computer cutting power or activating trac control.

There is a video from one of the original MORR cast, Casey, where he uses donkeys in the sand shoots for a rescue.

next drag a porshe up it like matt and company did 😝

Awesome job guys. Tbe raptors huge power just makes easy work of that hill.

that was smooth and for that i subbed!

There is a lot less sand there now Check Matt’s video and look how deep the sand is There were no rocks to grab onto Even trail Mater was buried to the frame no rocks to sit on

Nice run!

Matt has done this multiple times on his channel aside from having done this throughout his life there. And as others have said.... sand cond.
