there are no prerunners from the factory.

and I am pretty sure this truck will be 4wd, even though it does not follow completely a prerunner mentality.
as someone else said, it would not sell with out it.

BTW, for whoever is into this kind of stuff, check the pick we took last month down in the baja 250....

The Yota prerunner sales suck as do the 2wd ranger edge. Its just something that doesnt have a big enough calling in the standard new vehicle sales catagory. No real demand for them from the average consumer.

I can't imagine many individuals buying a new truck to trash it across the desert :dw:


there is a much higher demand for traditional 4X4s and hi po street trucks. Drag racing and nascar are probably 100x more popular than baja/desert racing. I honestly think this is one of the worst ideas at ever :bored:

I know old thread anyway,

I see about 30+ ford ranger edge/sports every day maybe 2 or 3 of them being 4wd, so id say theres plenty market for them

the stock raptor did not get to race this last weekend in the baja 1000, however, it did show up.

there was another raptor running in class 8 and did pretty well considering this is a new team.
i belive 9 trucks entered this class, 4 finished the race, the raptor finished 3rd
i`ll try to look up some pics later today of the race.

Pretty well considering this is a new team? Maybe together as a group, but with the accomplishments listed below, you couldnt get much better experience if you had to pay for it.

I heard that they wanted to finish better but were driving very conservatively because the truck had very few test miles on it and they wanted to make sure they finished. Hopefully next year they can win their class!
