I stopped reading once I read the phrase "Thats also why each ute is running stock tyres and recommended pressures."

I did not go very far because I don't care about offroad comparisons. But for those who do, as long as the playing field is level and all vehicles are "as delivered new" I don't see the problem.

Interesting stuff Possum, and after I saw that the Raptor has a 292kw (close on 400hp) engine and heaps of torque I thought "This could be a fun car!", and I decided to have a closer look.

However,with GVM of 3130kg and only 2500kg towing ability, along with LOW GCM of only 5370kg, it is next to useless for towing! 

BUT it certainly would be a great "Wolf in sheeps' clothing" vehicle to drive around town!

Interesting conclusions drawn by the reviewers, too! Cheers
