I went on a demo ride in the new lightening when they were showing them around the country. It was super quick and had a good suspension, but was not the final product so it may change. Nice frunk though

I don’t own a raptor yet but have one on order. I drove one and had to have it, great truck

Could be the knock sensor and or using regular gas as already stated. If you're not using premium, you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Be advised current 93 octane prices are higher than Hunter Biden
Also higher *do to Hunter as well.

Agreed, tho i also notice a difference with 89. Its got more snap when you fill w 93. I was in NYC today( breifly than k God) i saw a gas station with $5.85 premium. Yikes.

What a burn! I will for sure sell my slow piece of crap tomorrow! From the guy that I don't think ever owned a Gen 2, or Gen 3, correct?
Owned a Gen 1 & now a 3 thanks

They are cool trucks don’t get me wrong but fast they are not. Don’t live in denial. I got dusted by my old s/c Gen 1 and barely walked away from an old tundra. They need tuning asap (talking gen 3).

Car & Driver pegged the Gen3 on 35s at 5.2 to 60, 13.9 @ 98 in the quarter. Where did you dream up 12.5s 1/4 miles for Raptors? I don't think you're getting there on stock turbos. Hell, they got 12.2 out of the TRX.
12.9 13.6 here so I guess there are ONLY two of us out here. Stock turbos. I love the "I don't think" statements which translate to "I have no knowledge of the Raptor turbo subject but want to sound smart"
