East Coast to West Coast time for pickup

[Littlefx4]

Cross-country road trip…you should accumulate some very cool pics along the way, no doubt! Post a few here. That OW w/ graphics delete looks clean. Be safe & I hope you have a travel companion!

I do I-70 between Denver and KC a lot. Watch tire pressure - It can go up 5-6lbs in CO and over 40 psi coming out of Eastern CO the rear end will bounce like crazy (yours and the truck’s). Roads out there in windmill country are washboards.

I leave KC at 35F 33R and it’s not unusual to be 41/39 when I reach Denver.

Great drive though - beautiful country and Raptor will eat highway like a big ol dinosaur.

Enjoy the drive! I’ll be making my 30+ drive back to socal as well in the next few months hopefully. Rather than get it over with as fast as possible, I been planning some stops and places to visit.

So cal over $8.00 a gallon, good luck

I made the drive cross country once while pulling a U-haul trailer in my 5.3L 2000 Chevy Silverado. What an awesome drive it was, from So Cal to NYC. Why I moved is a long story, but definitely memorable. The 5.3 did great by the way. I took the 40 most of the way.

1. I just filled up yesterday with 91 Chevron, paid $6.20/gal
2. Why would I calculate the cost of socal gas in my trek across the country

lol

I'm off of 70, just south of Pittsburgh. Use WAZE to help spot the police. 70 in Wheeling, WV is down to one lane, so hitting it early or late would be best.

Ravelco. Keep your new Raptor yours. Yes, it sucks to spend over $600 extra when you just spent well over 100x that, (I've had installed 6x in the past), but they have never had a thief beat their system. Never.

Protect that paint! Install some Track Armour on the front end before departing the dealer.

I assume you went out of state for a MSRP deal?

Agreed! Put some protection on the front of your baby. It will peel right off when you get home. Don't follow anyone too close ....especially trucks, just get around and move on. Check this out on my 500+ mile trip to Utah last week. 19 mpg in a Raptor? Unheard of but she did it. Traveled at 75mph 90% of the time even though parts of Idaho and Utah are 80 speed limit on many of the freeways.

@SurfRaptor In Colorado, Avoid going west on I-70 out of Denver anytime Friday afternoon/evening or Saturday morning or you will sit in hours of stopped traffic.

How about Sunday morning early?
