Who thinks the Raptor is an American "car"? This is a specialized off road vehicle, known as a truck in the land of it's birth. It's "OK" (powerful) on road but huge and unwieldy. It is extremely high in technology with all imaginable bells and whistles and is suitable for nearly any transportation need, with great safety and comfort. In it's intended environment, there is no competitor (sorry Dodge). It's a crazy, grand, bumptious statement by a company interested in your interest and prepared to go far to get it. If you buy it for prestige and don't take it off road, you probably won't like it. The Atom has no modern technology, is unequipped for protection from the environment, is incapable of dealing with rough terrain at speed and would only be driven on road by fanatics. To equate these vehicles to each other is pointless, they could hardly be more dissimilar. The Atom has it's place and it is where UTVs are found, a relatively small place in the grand scheme of things, whereas the Raptor can do it all. Almost anyone would happily drive a Raptor but many would absolutely refuse to drive the Atom in either version, noting the lack of body panels and a wind screen among others.

For somebody who is not a big offroad guy at all, the information that Jethro prestented was very accurate. Good job keep up the good work.

Hard to think of a more capable stock off roader than a Raptor. No other vehicle can rock crawl, deal with high speed desert bumps, and be used a comfortable daily driver.

I didn't know you guys had a KZread channel. excellent video. After 8 years of waiting, I finally got the 2017 Raptor, and you really did a great job of showing just what makes it so special.

Great review- especially for us U.K. Based Tamyia RC generation! But I must be getting old couldn't stop thinking about the paint work and those stones- ouch!!

I loved the last conclusion, Brothers in Arms, OOHHH...YEAAHH... British Wild Beast and the best American off road BEAST... And by the way, making such a huge JUMP in a 5560 lb(2.5 ton TRUCK) SHOWS HOW INSANE the RAPTOR is.. Gotta say , Ford has made a machine that is no less spectacular than a 458 Speciale, 911 GT3 RS, ..what a complement !!!

Dear DRIVETRIBE, I have a humble request, could you please do a track comparison between the good old super cars, the Porsche Carrera GT, Audi R8 GT, Ford GT, Corvette C6 ZR1, Nissan Skyline GTR, Ferrari 430 etc I recently saw a Carrera GT with new set of tires on the Slovakia Ring doing some seriously fast laps and an R8 GT too joining it for a small lap time fight, it was super interesting to see those decade old masterpieces fight with modern rubber

sad thing is I drive a 2012 raptor and I'm shopping around for the 2017 and all the dealers are asking double MSRP for them.. 120k US when a fully loaded truck is supposed to be around 70k.. it was the same with the GT350 mustang and the Focus RS.. it's maddening.

i enjoyed the ride

This was a huge revelation. I'd have put money on the Nomad being the better choice for this sort of terrain, but it was so obviously outclassed by the Raptor. If your drive wheels are not touching the ground, they are not pushing the car, and the Nomad's rear wheels spent almost as much time in the air as touching the ground. If your steering wheels are not touching the ground, then they are not going to steer the car... It's a choice I doubt I'll ever have to make, but if I did, I would definitely be looking at the Raptor after seeing this video.

Offroading is not my thing, but I'd love to do that, it's more like rally actually. The desert is beautiful.

It probably also takes curbs better than a Ferrari FF.

The video is great but the sound mixing doesn't do it for me, Noisegating the mic and not having ambiant sound from the outside shots feels like i'm in an aquarium. Music would've done it too but it's okay the review more than makes up for it.

That Nomad is pretty trick!

Spintires mudrunner has to add a desert map with this raptor

Only other vehicles that could compare are the rally fighter and the Range Rover special evoque

Here in the UAE the Ford raptor is very popular.

GO ON THE NOMAD!!!

instead of the ariel nomad, the other one that he should have reviewed, in my non-british opinion, should have been the can-am maverick X3, due to similar designed applications to the raptor such as dunes and jumps and suspension setup. or am i wrong? surely you'll let me know

should have taken the rally fighter into this

Thumbs out Jethro...

One of the best examples is the Ford Fusion and Mondeo comparison. Same car but one would always take the Mondeo.
