jessi's vids are always the best...you can tell she is enjoying herself and she knows how to get the point across ...
Thanks for the feedback. We'll see what we can do... Jessi
Awesome to see the little Jessi in this awesome giant truck. She is, as always, just PERFECT !!!
Me too! More drifting to come! Jessi
Great episode. Jessi takes it serious but has a lot of fun and makes the show fun to watch...
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.
So glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for letting us know! Jessi
Love Jessi as a presenter, so enthusiastic!
Raptor School? Rawr.
Yeah, another Jessi video on friday. Great way to start the day.
You got it. Jessi
Jessi is such a great host for these series.
Sounds like a school I would LOVE to attend!
Great description; that's exactly how I felt! Jessi
0:51 that laugh always gets me :). You have one of my favorite laughs Jessi.
Jessi, i like your videos because besides everything, you love what you are doing, and i can see that you are really excited and having fun, thats amazing.
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!
LOVE THIS TRUCK SO MUCH!
WOW! GREAT VIDEO
Well all know you wrap your thumbs around the wheel while off-roading. That rock crawling was super intense too.
Great episode!!!!!
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.
Jesse, you are by far the coolest person ever! :P I love your reactions with the Raptor :p Looked fun!!
Not that she ever looks bad, but Jessi looked particularly fine in this episode. Also, Raptor school looks fun.
i when on the ride along there... it was great!
Now that is awesome
Awesome video Jessi! cool blouse
i love it when they come to Utah, represent!
"Everything about it pushes you to defy authority!" The best line of the whole video.
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
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.
anyone notice that the tires kept switching between bfg mud terrains and bfg all terrains?
dream truck
So, will it be possible to get the 6.7 Powerstroke Turbo Diesel on the Raptor?
I had the chance to go to this school and passed it up. SOB, I could've met Jessi.
@Josh Frost what part of utah cause I'm from there and i would love to go there.
this is the coolest truck on the road. If I didn't hvae a high mortgage I would so buy one tomorrow.
Why did they choose the crew cab?
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.
I have feeling Ford is going to give her a Raptor for Christmas
Is the Rapton better than the Silverado or ram runner
BEST JOB EVER
Looks pretty tame. I probably could have done that in any random truck, even a 2wd.
Where is this?
thats one badass truck
i thinkn this was the miller motorsports school in tooella UT. i think
JT, nice video, actually would love to get myself and GF into this course for a day, looks like a lot of fun!
Jessi to The Baja!:)
i'd love one of those just to go through my school parking lot...
Good point.
shit i do this on a daily basis getting out of my driveway !

Hahahahahahahahah
Definitely would be my future ride
there's a school for that?! SIGN ME UP!
Does the SVT Raptor R count?
what do you mean the next? 2013 models? those are out already...
exactly !
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.
she dont even sound like she was having fun like she did a jump *after jump* just a little giggle if that was me id would of be like wooooo!!! with the biggest smile on my face
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.
how come a fancy truck like that doesn't come with dual pipes, one on each side or out the back?
Amen
im a Chevy guy but with the ford raptor i think i changed my mind go ford tough
For this truck to have so much hype has it won any trophies or competitions
cool
Thats built ford tough !
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?
They call that rock crawling wow. Could have done that in a wrx lol. Come on motortrend lets see some real crawling!
wow corners and steep inclines :O
Jessi, are you an angel?
lets see a wrx sti on that off road course!
Jessi + Raptor = Kid in a vehicular candy store \=-)
This course is in Utah isn't it?!
That track looks like a gravel rosd around here.
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.
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...
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.
@exiledrabbit yeah you are the only one!
I want one too. I wish they made a Diesel Raptor.
wrangler?
an STI or EVO on that track would be so much fun.. except the climbing..
It's a training course, chill out, guys!
Wow dirt roads, super extreme..
Hey Jessi! Do you still do car reviews on Roadfly TV?
Jessi you can afford one of these easily. Just go buy it.
I'm bored now and over it.... Moving on with life
the tires they used in this test are not the stock tires the raptor is a baja ready truck
Over 25 mph on the whoops -- whoopsie! Tee hee!
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.
i love her
Im In Love...
2:23 isnt the same truck as 2:27 look at the tires. BFG all terains first, and then BFG mud terrains
yep she's nice, I need the truck more, my Chevy's got 225 k miles on it, not sure how many more the 6.0L has left in it, so far so good though.
thanks a ton! it's probably not public but..
whats up with the tires changing one scene its KM2s then its the A/Ts...lol
Hahaha !! You are probably right regarding the presentation ;)
They need to put the Ecoboost V6 in this.
You should see our version of offroad in Kuwait.It's better in KSA since there is way more sand there,Better way to test the 4 wheel drive ;)
I dont know does it?
I hate speed limits to the bone! Lol
looool wa7sh wala!!!
