How a STOCK Ford Raptor Can Survive Baja

When Ford released the Raptor back in 2010, it was in a class of its own. There was nothing like it, and to this day (the TRX isn’t out yet), holds the crown for the ultimate production off road pickup. And that’s because Ford went about building and testing this prehistoric 4 wheeler in one of the toughest terrains in the world. The Baja 1000 is one of the most extreme off-road races on the planet, pushing your machine to it’s limit. So how is the Raptor capable of tackling such extreme terrain with limited modifications? And why does Ford let you buy one of these? And why do they give you a full factory warranty as well!? Today we are going to look at both versions of Baja tested Raptor - the SVT Raptor R, and the Ford Raptor Race truck!


Some of our best videos ever are coming out soon, stay tuned so you won't miss a thing!

At 147k miles on my Raptor, I can confirm that they're reliable. Eats up everything I can throw at it off road, sounds amazing, ride is supple/smooth/controlled, and looks nice and beefy. I love it!

Raptor: 30 Hours at 100mph in the desert, under warranty works like brand new.
TRX: : Let's race at street lights to see who's truck is better.

I love Donut’s shows and the hosts. I love them even more because they’ve done two shows about the Raptor and I just got my Raptor in June. Already have 5000 miles on it in 2 months. It’s the most awesome car I’ve ever owned! Keep making awesome content!
