These Utah guys put the Tesla Cybertruck up against the Ford Raptor R in a steep incline test, and it was a close call.
The YouTube channel SterlingsWildWest took the two tricks out in the mountainous regions of the western state.
This was truly a clash of the titans, which would push the two vehicles to their limits.
But one of them had come out on top, even if the results were a close run thing in the end.

The Tesla Cybertruck takes on a Ford Raptor R in an incline test challenge
In a lot of ways, the Tesla Cybertruck and the Ford Raptor R are similar.
Both are formidable-looking trucks, and their names often come up when people talk about off-roading adventures.
But which one would come out as the top dog in an incline challenge?

As the Ford Raptor R started its descent, it sure didn’t make things look easy.
The back wheel began digging into the dirt, as tons of noise beeped out from the dashboard.
Ultimately, it ended up getting stuck.
When the Cybertruck got its turn, it didn’t get off to the most promising start.

As the wheels began spinning, it looked as if the Cybertruck might be the same story as the Raptor.
But when it came down to the crunch, the Tesla still lost out to the Raptor, because it didn’t make as far up the hill.
This isn’t the first time we’ve seen a head-to-head competition between cars
We’ve seen cars face off in a lot of different arenas.
There was the time a Cybertruck took on a Ram 3500 in a tug of war, which produced a clear result.

It was a similar story when a Jeep and Volkswagen had their own tug of war.
In another setting, a Porsche went head-to-head with a Lexus in a suspension challenge.
