Desert and dunes=Banshee. The Raptor is NOT unreliable. 2001's had a weak gearbox, 01-present have a somewhat frequent starter bearing failure. My 01 hasnt experienced any real trouble yet.

Just like anything else the first model year has bugs that need to be worked out. THe banshee is the best in the dunes, everywhere else the raptor is equal or in most cases better.
