how do you launch this truck?

[Booth9999]

sport mode, engage 4a mat the gas pedal hold the break, drop break and keep it floored once she gets traction and before it hits second switch it to 2wd. I have done it countless times in my gen 2 and no issues. Fastest launch you can get in a raptor. It will surprise everyone how quick out of hole they are, see if you can get a 0-60 time if you try it.

This does NOT work on the newer trucks as has been mentioned multiple times. Put the truck in 4A and auto hold. Foot OFF the brake. Gas it. The computer will not let you power brake

...I didn't get my Raptor to launch fast or drive fast...but...if you can get it to dual hat then it is more funner ( yes not a word lol). I admit I want ( can't afford) a Raptor R....but we all love to tweak..modify...improve..go faster..whatever lol. Even with computers we do it..ram upgrade...gpu....cpu....power supply....lol..it's never ending...we always want more better lol

So true. I wouldn't have bought a fast truck if I didn't want the ability to drive it fast. Do I drive it fast all the time? No, of course not, but I know its there and its fun to use when nobody is around. All these people saying it wasn't designed to go fast or "get a different vehicle" are hilarious.

If one wants to launch as fast as possible, get a Lucid or Tesla Plaid or Hayabusa or GT500. Don’t get a truck.

Agree. But For me R is a perfect utility with speed, marshmallow ride on pot hole, capacity for hauling and of course appearance and interior (though none of them are best, but very descent). The only down side is handling, but definitely much better than a stock Tacoma. I once rode in GT 5.0 and just feel the suspension is too stiff and cabin is bit low for me to sit in comfortably.

What do you mean by “newer”?

Well maybe it’s just the R but I thought somoene said the regular 2023s are like that also. My ‘19 gen 2 you can power brake all day

The R and the TRX are fantastic multi use vehicles. I don’t always need the 700hp, but I do need a truck. It’s nice to have both.

I just hit 1000 miles in my 23. Hold my beer….

I know it’s kind of a gimmick, but the Launch Control button in the TRX really is fun!
