The suspension blew my mind... (the power was awesome, too 8) but there are a few other top 4x4s that match the 411HP output - but the suspension, man, I could not believe it...)

I'm sure the shebab know best about breaking things!!! LOOOL
Sand was good, though - on those 35" tyres it climbs like a quad!!! But definitely the best feature was the suspension, and that means fast runs on sebkha and dirt tracks. There's no way a Tundra or Titan or other pick-up, with stock suspension, can keep up with the Raptor. I know some guys can run 160kph on the sebkha even in a Corolla LOOOOL but I mean with full control and precision. It's like driving a rally truck! Actually, that's exactly what the suspension is... Tundra and Titan rock, too, of course! I love all trucks. But give the Raptor a try - as I said on the web, I've been writing motoring in UAE since 2004, and for fast runs on tracks, Raptor is the best I've driven. 100%. Sand dunes, hmmm, well, power was awesome, as was traction, but it is long wheel-base so you need to slow down for the crests, and tight bowls can trap it, so I wouldn't say the very best, but definitely top ten, maybe even top five. Those photos were 2WD by the way!!!! LOL You can park a Raptor at the bottom of a high dune, and gun it, and it will climb. Running top speed around the inner bowl, visibility was an issue as the hood is very long and high... but I'm trying to find something to say, it was awesome on the dunes, too. BTW, just set up a testdrive with the dealership, tell them you want to try it on a farm track, and be ready to have your mouth hanging open in amazement!!! 8)
BTW, if you change the Tundra suspension, then it can match (beat?) the Ford Raptor - like this: http://www.socalprerunner.com/how-to-ma ... raptor.htm

Hope Premier Motors will check the chassis on the test truck they gave you....hard driving a Raptor will bend the chasiss...the suspension is great but the chassis cant handle it all
