My Brand New Ford Raptor BROKE and I Hate it... * WORST Recovery Ever*

[@StreetSpeed717]

They'll still make an excuse on your Raptor. You haven't even sent the Raptor like you did the TRX...which had ZERO suspension issues.

Were the tierods stock or came with the lift kit? Or unsure? Cause potentially they may not have been rated for the extra weight of the wheels and such. But regardless shitty

Yeah that Raptor broke way too easy man. I was honestly shocked at how easy that pretzeled the tie rods when you’ve put your other stuff through the ringer and they held up fine.

[@danwilliams6018]

Did you not jump a Raptor as well before you jumped the TRX? You only sent the TRX further because of the V8. My question is what is the history of the gen3 Raptor?

[@NickL12]

Here's my suggestion: keep the TRX as your daily driver that you can still make videos with and have a good following for it. Then, (if money isn't a problem in this scenario) buy trucks like the Raptor 37 that compare to your daily and make content with it. When you feel you've done enough with the side-truck, get rid of it and try something else. Bottom line, in my opinion the TRX is too good to get rid of from a functionality and viewership standpoint.

[@jwilley1991]

TRX benchmark tests is a great idea. I can’t imagine there are going to be many trucks that will stack up well against it. (Even if I’m a Raptor fanboy)

A word of advice, when doing recovery, do NOT hook your rope to your ball hitch (as in video). Because that cannot handle the forces that you’re putting on it and can snap. Hook on your frame, on the recovery point. One guy got killed when the ball flew and hit him.

When you go flying into water at that speed your asking for trouble I don’t care what your driving. The hydraulic forces under a truck like that are COMPLETELY unpredictable. You can get backwash waves with incredible forces. I worked as a scientist for the Navy and some of the wave tank theory we did on torpedoes launched from under water vs air launched vs dropped off a boat, create huge turbulence and forces that are hard to predict. After many tests with EXACTLY the same setup we’d get 10 different results in 10 different tests. What he did here could break a Mercedes G wagon or a dodge or a Chevy. There is no way to predict how much force coming from each axle and tire and knowing which direction the waves are coming from . The waves are sometimes additive and sometimes not, there’s no way to know what force is going to go in which direction. Lastly to say just because he drove this particular truck in there like that that this truck failed is just ignorant. Because you can fly in there with 10 straight trucks and have 0 failures or you can get 6 failures. This is a test that just not a good idea nor can you make any objective declarations from this other than it’s just not a smart decision

[@Xterraforce]

Are you sure the suspension is stock? I only asked because the angle of the control arms looks steeper that other Raptor 37s I've seen. When lifting anything with IFS tie rod angle is critical. In some cases even a leveling kit requires tie rod braces or upgraded tie rods. In my opinion off road trucks shouldn't be built with parts that close to their limit but they often are and not just Ford. Ford does seem to be the worst offender currently though. The new Broncos have become well known for breaking steering components when lifted with tires over 35 inches.

And you can put all all the clips of the trx doing stuff, but the truth is, nothing the trx did forced quick pressure on the side of the front tires like the raptor.

Suspension and mechanical stuff appears to be 100% stock from what I can see

[@wademyers6051]

It's junk, just like the IFS on the Bronco.

[@burgerbandit3646]

@@StreetSpeed717 Must not have saw the Ram guy who snuck under your truck with a power saw lol. But all jokes aside, these truck have went through far more abuse than that, not sure what happened there.

[@slapdoctor707]

Should have kept the trx. Imagine what will happen to the raptor R

[@demongawl]

The TRX could’ve done the exact same. You don’t floor it while wheel hoping and crawling over rocks. Add 37’s and it adds to it. There’s different types of off-roading, Mike took a Baja truck out crawling and then proceeded to floor trying to get up rather then making sure he had the correct line. You can go find video of TRX’s breaking tie rods as well. Given the circumstances, any truck could’ve.

[@slapdoctor707]

@@demongawl true but I'm saying imagine how much worse the raptor r would have been. I know I've had plenty of wheel hop never seen that

[@rwilliamjacob]

37s on any non beefed up tie rod will get you this, but IFS is weaker.

[@steelers19727]

Bro, im a big fan of Ford and Ford product but after watching that short video of VERY LIGHT off road has really changed my mind in paying all the money for now JUST THE NAME!!! LOL

[@elemental5906]

I think it’s pretty ironic that the Raptor was getting towed away by a RAM Cummins. 😂😂😂

"BOBBY.,,, I SAID A LITTLE BIT! HAD ME ROLLING!

[@kyletrinkle8261]

Ahhh the TRX content that was never ment to be. Thank you for over jumping it and going down in history lol

[@kevob.7052]

It time for a complete front solid straight axle under it. It’s bulletproof. Trust me. Loves all your videos.

[@nimaside]

I felt like I heard Hank Hill's voice in this video: "Damn it Bobby!"

[@moramlawi]

If you hold the tailgate switch it should close on its own. My F-150 Temor has that option.

[@Apachefog]

The fact that you did that trail in a stock 97 blazer on 38s says everything.

[@Mpowerurmind777]

I love how you had Bobby just give his truck absolute hell and then you decide to try the winch lmao

[@SkywhiteChannel]

Can you show the tie rods and where they snapped??

[@dundeeecroc]

They snapped at the thinnest rod that is in between the tie rod ends. JUNK

[@cameronfowler8032]

Was really cool to see you guys recover the Raptor. I think you should keep the TRX and sell the Raptor

[@rodneyaulner2909]

Omg all these people saying your recovery sucked, people with you have no clue and you just beat that poor Ford to hard. The man and his friends are used to the TRX, it drives to the offroad experience tackles what's in front of it and drives home. They are not used to needing a half day, a bunch of recovery tools and a tow truck to get home.

[@fixitfrank412]

I'm a Ford guy...and all I can think is that with the 37" package, they should be beefing up some suspension and steering components as well, which I'm sure they are not. Turning and handling the 37" tires with those dinky tie rods seems kind of crazy...

[@limbitlessvlogs]

Man I’m a massive ford guy but it’s absolutely ridiculous how ford is so cheap that they can’t put durable tie rods on their trucks or at least put upgraded ones in the 37 package unbelievable

[@jordanlaffitte5169]

I think the channel would really like to see you build a strictly off rode truck, 4Runner, Sammie, old tacoma on 40s with a 2JZ motor trail rig.

[@truckinleprechaunscottcask9747]

Being a Ford man, the biggest problem they have is the IFS suspension. It is the weakest link in the 4x4 arena. I'm planning a solid axle swap on my truck just to eliminate the issue.
