I guess what I found interesting is the WOT clips of the Raptor! It definitely sounds better than the last one, unless the editing guys worked their magic and only picked the most melodic notes.....

Oh, and Syclone's are still bad ass!!

That's the new Gen 3 exhaust at work. The Bronco Raptor will have a similar setup.

So odd that everyone benchmarks off the Raptor....yet, never in a way that is designed to show what the Raptor was made for.

That's like taking a F1 car to the sand dunes to show some rails out running it. Duh.

I ordered a 22 Raptor and that last thing I bought it for was the 1/4 mile.

Sad to say there are more idiots out there than you guys realize. Some in this very thread and others on svtp who judge the category the Raptor created based on 0-60 or 1/4mi times .

It’s just funny how the Raptor has become the joke of “ on road “ performance because to me that speaks to the level of intelligence from the person criticizing.

Probably because the majority of them are only thinking about the Raptor in its Mall Rated trim level.

Nobody around me buys trucks to haul/pull 4-wheelers (fall/early winter hunting) and snowmobiles (winter) the 100-300 miles up north. Lol.

All the battery lovers on this site seem to conveniently sidestep that issue.
A couple won't even push for test data.

The lie continues with their blessing...

The really funny thing is that the Raptor actually has very good on-road performance, dating all the way back to the Gen 1.

I mean... they'll beat a Honda Civic.... but a well prepped VW bug with Bilsteins... no
Hahaha, cmon man you’re better than this! You are above the fox body argument and you know it.

Both Raptor and TRX are purpose built off road trucks but that doesn’t mean because they couldn’t keep up with a clapped out VW but that’s prepped or a 2k shit box ranger with 10k worth of suspension that they are not good off road.
