Ford Raptor can't drag BYD Leopard even though it uses aired-down all-terrain tires for extra grip, while BYD only uses ordinary tires. Now you know why Ford's CEO conceded Ford is 25 years behind BYD, and why they're desperate to keep Chinese EVs out of the US.

That EV is much more heavier than the Truck. This test proves nothing.

Do any of these people know what happens when a rope under tension breaks? 😅

Actually this has nothing to do with anything but weight. Fill that bed with bags of concrete and it'll pull that BYD anywhere you want.

This is not a fair test. All I see are a bunch of idiots hooting and pointing. A DC brushless motor can deliver full torque at zero RPM That is why every railroad locomotive since the 1950's has been electric drive. At zero RPM, an internal combustion engine will stall.

Stupid comparison! An empty bed has way less traction than full metal SUVs. Drop a ton of cargo into both and see how that BYD falls apart!

Chinese vehicles are slowly making inroads into Australia and slowly taking over the market from the Korean and Japanese brands. Give it time and they will dominate the top 10 here and would do the same if allowed into the US.

Just gonna leave this torque chart here.

Surely there is no bias in this man's commentary

What’s the weight of the BYD vs the Ford? This isn’t rocket science.

Weight matters, EVs weigh a fuck ton. Put a pallet of blocks in the back of that truck

You’re comparing apples and oranges. Make them weigh the same then do it again.

Bro, this is a weight issue not a power issue 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

air those tire to 25psi and try again. better yet since you need help mechanically, see the two lines instead of A bold line ? that is because when air down to far you cup the tire and ride sidewall only. picture an Upside-down U shape.

Come on Li you are comparing EV power to ICE power. EV has the advantage regardless of the ICE vehicle. What about BYD vs Tesla?

To the dumbass in the Ford raptor yes an SUV is going to be heavier and get more traction than an empty truck bed moron

As a former multiple diesel pickup truck-owning redneck who has been around a lot of bumper pulls in the day, the angle/height of the tow strap plays a big role in who had the upper hand.

This has more to do with GVRW than design. I could win this with 3 gears a $200 4 stroke from harbour freight and 10,000lbs of rocks

Power is not the only thing relevant. Traction is just as important if not more. Weight adds to the Traction. More weight=better Traction. You can have all the power in the world, but if you lack traction, power is wasted. Physics, baby. Physics!!

Off-road tires vs onroad tires. You answered your own question. Put slicks on it see what happens.

Good grief. All-terrain tire rubber is not compounded for maximum coefficient of friction on pavement. Almost certainly hard, tough rubber to survive impact on sharp rocks. And no load in bed. Ordinary tires + heavy battery with 50/50 or better weight distribution far more grip.

Probably because the BYD is much heavier

Why not do the comparison with an equivelant vehicle such as a Rivian R1S? Theres a reason they chose a gas truck with an unloaded bed lol

the byd is basically acting as a tractor here, it's not really a valid test

Heaviest BYD SUV is 7,253 lbs. Heaviest Raptor is 6,005 lbs. BYD has evenly distributed batteries. Raptor has a fixed 50:50 power distribution but an empty bed - no weight on rear axle makes it less effective. Load a 1,000 lbs. into the Raptor bed and watch what happens. 😉

I don't know much about cars - big boys' toys But I think that Ford pickup is suicidal shdn't hv taken the challenge U can't beat the Law of Physics just by using brute force when the Ford is out of BYD's class which is an SUV, in tug of war The weight distribution differs

BYD is electric. That torque paired with additional weight is why he’s moving forward. It’s not about power it’s about getting that power to the ground.

What is the range on that BYD pulling a trailer compared to the Ford? That is what matters in real life.

The BYD is just much heavier because it's junk.

It's stupid to judge a truck by a tug of war.

All terrain tires have lower grip on asphalt than regular summer tires.

A raptor is not a truck you do any type of towing with so idk what this proves 😂😂😂😂

I'm a mechanic and this is not a true representation. Yea I agree the BYD is probably better, but the BYD is at an advantage in this specific scenario so it's not a fair representation of facts.

What’s in the back of the byd? How much does it weigh? Dishonest as fuck, at least pit against a cyber truck.

The EV is heavier, plus acceleration is much quicker that puts its ahead right off the bat

This says nothing about the vehicle itself and everything about the tires.
