Fishy - have you checked the prices on Raptors lately? Starting at $53,000.
I would take a Rubicon off road way before the mall poser Raptor.
That depends a lot on the type of "off road" terrain that you are going out on. The Jeeps are purpose built for extremely rough cramped terrain a low speeds. The Raptor is built for moderately rough open deserts at high speeds.
From what I hear the Jeep is great for rock crawling and decent in city driving but comes up short on highways and trailer towing. The Raptor does great on highways and can pull a pretty decent trailer when not being used for recreation. Its large size and width actually makes it a pretty poor choice for going to the mall compared to the Jeep. The Jeep would make a great second truck for me but right now I am stuck with much less expensive used vehicles for that purpose. And something with higher tow ratings than the Raptor for my main truck.
