Did you know that with a 0-to-60 time of 4.2 seconds, 450 horsepower, 510 pound-feet of torque, and FOX Racing Shox, the Ford F-150 Raptor could have demolished a Tyrannosaurus rex if the truck and dinosaur were to somehow meet?
In fact, the T. rex would have lost so badly, it's not even a fair comparison.
Off-roading enthusiasts in Hayward are probably familiar with the F-150 Raptor's capability, but you may not have a good grasp of a T. rex's capability thanks to movies like Jurassic Park, which science keeps ruining for us.
The latest data shows that T. rex could only amble up to 12 mph, and it probably couldn't jump, either. With a heavy body that could reach almost 9 tons, high-impact activities like sprinting could easily shatter its own leg bones.
The F-150 Raptor, on the other hand, is a relatively featherweight 2.5 tons thanks to its military-grade aluminum alloy body.
