That just tells me you've never been to Pismo or Glamis. It's hard to tell from the video, but those hills are intense.

I've never seen an F150 V8 4x4 make it up Olds Hill. They don't make enough hp. I'm not even sure that Raptor could make it up.

Imagine hitting woops as fast as a truck with stock suspension can handle and then gunning it at the base of the hill, you speed starts to slow, still WOT, all 4 tires start kicking up sand like crazy, your speed slows, still WOT, your motor bogs, stop, before you dig yourself in and get stuck. Now back up straight because if you try to 3 point it on the hill you might roll over.

Those hills are much steeper than they look.
