BUILT VS BOUGHT: Modified Honda Ridgeline vs. Stock Ranger Raptor

Right before my Honda Passport was totaled in an accident, we visited Gorman, California to test out the new regeared ZF9 and more aggressively modified rear diff lock mod. A friend I haven't seen in a while, AJ (the guy that designed the Dirtcom Trailswing), brought his mostly stock Ranger Raptor. The only modification it had was larger 35" tires. Can an modified AWD "NART" (not a real truck) on 34 inch tires and Honda's advanced iVTM4 system even make a comparison competitive?
