Ford F-150 Raptor Takes on Mars Rover in Ridiculous Infographic

Ford’s F-150 Raptor is an off-road tuned machine, meant to tackle dirt, rocks and mud, and Ford even wants us to believe that it is ready for Mars.

Comparing the Raptor to the Mars rover, you have to take into account that while each vehicle is entirely different, the purpose of each is generally the same; conquer all terrain. While the Raptor has got the Rover beat when it comes to passenger hauling, towing, and speed, the Rover impresses with 500 lb-ft of torque, a small nuclear radioisotope thermoelectric power generator and a ridiculous price tag of $2.5 billion.

For that price, you could pickup 56,857 Raptors.
