This man has shared a clip of his ‘indestructible’ Gen 3 Ford Raptor as it made its way over some seriously tough terrain.
Ford launched the high-performance Raptor back in 2010 and 15 years on, it’s amassed an army of fans.
Initially, the nameplate was only used on the F-150 model, but it has since been introduced on the Ranger and Bronco.
As well as looking seriously mean, the Raptor is an exceptionally tough vehicle.
The ‘indestructible’ Ford Raptor makes off-roading look easy
There’s no denying that the Ford Raptor is an extremely hardy vehicle that can handle just about anything – including steep hills.
In a clip shared by YouTuber Ben Hardy, his green Gen 3 Ford Raptor can be seen making light work of some very rugged terrain.
The clip shows the Raptor driving right through a mud pit — a decision that would most likely destroy the wheel and axle of another vehicle.
However, the Raptor handled it incredibly well and barely even slowed down as it bounced around on the muddy ground.
Although we must admit, it did make us more than a little bit concerned for the Raptor’s wheel alignment.
Posting the video Hardy praised the ‘indestructible’ and ‘shockingly durable’ vehicle.
The F-150 Raptor is ready for anything
The third-generation Ford F-150 Raptor was introduced in 2021.
The base model held onto its predecessor’s 3.5 liter twin-turbo V6, while the more powerful Raptor R comes with a 5.2 liter V8 that produces 720 horsepower and 640 lb-ft of torque.
The truck comes equipped with 37-inch all-terrain tires, which Ford says are ‘designed to eat up harsh terrain’ and allow it to pull off the sort of moves you can see in the clip.
Ford prides itself on the truck being able to handle pretty much any terrain you might come across.
The band says it was designed after watching how drivers ‘use their trucks for life out in cornfields, on dusty two-tracks, in muddy bogs and on rock-strewn trails’.
Oh and it’s quite fun to use in a massive game of tug-of-war, too.
