Stop being mean to the kid. If you want to get a good launch first make sure you are on a good solid surface like asphalt or concrete. Put the truck in 4 Low and make sure your axle is locked. Stomp the brake and give it enough gas to where the brakes just barely hold it. Then let off of the brake and at the same time push the gas pedal to the floor.
4 Low?

Is it not bad for the truck? low is for very low-traction situation like deep mud or a steep incline maybe 4 auto

I honestly don’t even care anymore lol
dude... do some reading; RTFM, it’s a lot, but check out the manual and Raptor supplement.
then do some searching here.

We’re salty, because the forum is full of dip sticks who complain their bmw doesn’t shift like the Raptor and it should shift better and similar whining.

The Rap isn’t what you’d call fast. Best case you’re getting a high 13 1/4 mile in good conditions untuned. she’s not slow for a 3 ton truck but if you want to win street light races, go find something quicker.

If you want to have fun, find some Toyota 4x4’s and go off roading with them. Drive faster over everything they can and charge them to tow them out when their trucks break.

Ok sounds good. My truck is tuned so it is quicker than you would think
