Too much money too much time too few brains. Truck lovers may not want to watch.

I'm surprised I didn't hear one of them say "But it worked for the Duke boys"

Yep....exactly what I was thinking.

That Truck was made to do that, just not that.

You'd think that someone who did any amount of off road driving would have enough sense to realize doing a jump like that's just going to tear up a factory stock truck, SUV or Jeep type vehicle. That kind of stuff tears up custom off road vehicles too requiring constant rebuilds or repair.

As said above, sometime logic is replaced by confidence when alcohol is mixed in.

It doesn't cost that much $60k, I'll bet it got totaled, I know people in Ca that bought brand new Raptors, cut the frame at the end of the cab, installed a tubed 4 link prerunner set up, redid front suspension, roll bars, tuned it for more HP, etc, by the time they were done they would have $150k in it, then do what that guy was attempting with no issues..

Our definition of the sum of money that constitutes a lot for a vehicle differs. And those people in CA must have a surplus of currency sitting around they want to burn through quick.

$150k is a bunch, $60k is a bunch too.  Guess it's a matter of perspective.

Total perspective, to each his own...that's why Ford makes F150's and F150 Raptors some people are just different ...

[Dirtshooter]

Either way F-150 or Raptor, air bags deployed it is a total!! Wreck that is.

Here's what $500k will get you and there's a gun theme too...

Trophy truck gymkhana. Cool.

That was a guy out in his Dad's Raptor IIRC  A guy local to me knows the driver.

The video is 3 years old and looks like the truck had a Texas registration.  I wonder if the kid is still making payments to his dad for that few seconds of hey y'all watch this?

From what I was told they fixed the truck and did it again successfully.  I had a Raptor at the time and thats what brought up the whole conversation.

I tried to find the successful jump but apparently it was not documented.  I did find this story with similarities of a less than ideal jump followed by a rebuild and then a successful jump but obviously not the same truck.

I looked at several lame ass raptor jumping videos last night on ytube several of them the air bags deployed, if your going to play you'll pay if its not set up correctly...
