Coming from a 2.7 Ecoboost F150 Lariat.

My 2.7 IMHO is very peppy, more so in Sport mode. What can I expect? Serious question. I have never driven a Raptor before.

Having both, 2.7 feels a lot quicker than the raptor. If you want that pep, you'll have to tune the raptor

Test drove a 2019 from my dealers used lot before putting in my order. The other vehicle in my stable is platinum explorer with the 3.5TT. Less power but also less weight. It’s fast... but the raptor felt a bit faster. And was fast as **** off the asphalt. So given you’re already in an F-150 it’ll be much quicker than your current ride.

I have a raptor and 2.7 work truck
. The 2.7 is impressive and it is very peppy. But there is no doubt the raptor has more power when you drive it

Raptor isn’t going to feel much faster. I’ve had a rental 2.7 (Anyone else always request pickups for rental cars?) and it was fun on the skinny tires and much lighter truck. The Raptor will feel completely different in terms of ride quality - night and day, on road as well as off (obviously).

We absolutely loved our 2.7.
driving around town not getting into the gas much the 2.7 feels quicker. Spool the turbos and the raptor feels quicker.
the big difference is the floaty feeling you get in the raptor compared to a regular f150, that and the tire noise.

While I understand why people are saying the 2.7 feels more peppy compared to the 3.5HO, I think it's important to remember that it only *feels* that way and isn't actually the faster truck. Strangely, the 2.7 vs 3.5HO comparison reminds me of the 3.5TT vs 5.0 comparison when I originally bought my '15--the 3.5TT felt incredibly quicker than the 5.0 but there really wasn't a huge difference in power, just feel.
