This super impressive Ford Ranger Raptor successfully did a 280ft sand dune jump and got the most unimaginable hang time.
We knew that the Ford Ranger Raptor is impressive, but no one expected it to defy physics in this way.
It looked like a plane when it took off, and although we couldn’t see the landing, the fallout from the jump in Brazil has gone viral in a secondary video posted to TikTok.
We think that the damage sustained to the Ford Ranger Raptor is worth it for this gravity-defying stunt; you’ve definitely never seen anything like this before.

Every now and then, we see a video of a car defying the laws of physics, or making it look like gravity was switched off.
This video has been going incredibly viral, showing a Ford Ranger Raptor successfully doing a 280ft sand dune jump in Brazil.
The pickup gains an incredible speed on the dune, and when it takes off, it genuinely looks like a plane taking off and like it’ll never come back down to earth.
Unfortunately, the cameraman was so impressed by the jump that we don’t get to see the official landing, but we do get to see the fallout in a separate viral video.

We don’t officially know how far the Ford Ranger Raptor flew, but the number being batted about on the internet is around 280ft.
It’s clear from the TikTok that the off-roader is in a bit of a state after its enormous leap and hard landing, including a completely mangled front end, and all of the airbags had been deployed.
The driver wasn’t still inside the car after the jump, suggesting they survived fine and walked away unscathed.
While the truck could not be described as unscathed, the damage seems worth it to achieve this magical, gravity-defying moment.
