Anyone worried about the gearing of the 37s?

[GordoJay]

Not worried. But my use is driving over obstacles off road ...

That small of a diameter increase is less of a performance killer compared to weight difference on a tire. Per the BFG site, weight is about 5 lbs more for the 37" so not a lot. Most would be hard pressed to tell any significant difference with that 10 speed.

The 37 on the Raptor is a new model C RBL and is actually 64.84 lbs versus the 35 which is 66 lbs.

lol an even weaker tire. don't worry the starbucks drive through does not require a real off road tire

THAT BLUE INTERIOR IS REALLY UGLY ... WOULD THE BLACK LEATHER SEAT
COVERS FROM THE 35 RAPTOR FIT THE RECARO SEATS ...IM THINKING OF I COULD BUY A USED SET IN THE FUTURE ... AND SWAP THEM

I watch a lot of Keep It Dirty Off-Road vids. And when he complained about that I thought it was funny, that NOW that’s his concern. But he didn’t have that concern when he put 37’s on his gen 2, after all the trimming and cutting he did to add them. Sounds more like someone who is trying to convince themselves to be happy with his gen 1 that he just brought. For the record I overall enjoy his vids. But you have to read between the lines with that guy.

Completely agree.

35 to 37 is nothing.

the thing has ten gears. nobody is going to notice.

for those skeptical, i would encourage you to run a gear / rpm / speed chart. you will see the absolutely meaningless difference is rpm at a particular gear / speed.

now if we have a significant weight difference, all bets are off.

I would wager if you drove them back to back, there would be a noticeable difference. Probably won't matter much in the big scheme.

It’s a different seat. Blue is Recaro and black is the regular seat so no it won’t fit.

That’s fair. After watching his video I just figured he knew a hell of a lot more on Raptors than me. Let’s just hope the Ford engineers know what they are doing.
