My 37 got smoked by a Hyundai SUV (question)

So there's "one" that ran 12.5 on E50 and you then generalize Raptors as 12.5-13s 6000 pound trucks. Okay. Raptors are not fast. Not stock, not tuned, not at all.

I dunno man….my 2020 gen2 w/ 93 octane Gearhead tune def feels pretty fast. I would imagine it’s a mid/low 12 second 1/4 mile vehicle for sure, & obviously it hooks nicely. While I really don’t care too much about racing or straight line acceleration for the sake of it- if you wanna get a good run in seems these ttV6 trucks like to be brake boosted slightly prior to launch.

Also- traction control is very invasive, won’t run full power unless it’s off esp once tuned.

Keep in mind I have background driving/riding all kinds of fast stuff (sport bikes/muscle cars/quads/700+ whp vette etc) so I def have a frame of reference to compare against.

I don’t know how much the 37”s detract from acceleration but as others have stated has much more to do w/ the diameter than the weight as the 35” factory BFGs are within a couple lbs

One other thing to consider- what wheels do you have? Not sure on exact weight difference but I have a winter tire setup on base 17” wheels & KO2s on factory 2020 bead locks, the bead lock wheels are definitely heavier, by how much I don’t know. I think the nokian snows are a little lighter than the KO2s too so it’s tough to say exactly but could also be a factor

Can always trade for a TRX. Pocket some cash and get a faster truck. Ya, the nose on the TRX is tacky but you can always replace it with an ADD bumper. Get Raptor's clearance , be left with cash ...and win against any Korean car.

Probably more likely an even swap at best.

My Ducati will smoke your 37…I’m sure your truck is broken I’ll take it if you want even though it’s broken

Exactly haha. Although i do think theres something at play here. Not entirely sure a honda can pull moves like that. I smoked a tahoe rst with a 6.2 couple weeks back pretty easily.

@Gsteve - What happened to the first four Raptors bruv?

what do you think?

 

[Gsteve]

Where is the data to support your claims? Look up official 0-60 times of the trucks you listed and they are slower than the Raptor's. The Raptor may not be subjectively fast or quick, but objectively it is one of the quickest, stock from the factory, truck for sale.

want a surprise , go find a guy with a 2wd 2.7 and race him.

Just a comment on debate technique, guys. If you have to add "for a truck" after "fast", it doesn't help your case. Rather the opposite.

To be fair “fast/faster” is relative.

yup, my gen 3 has adequate power but another 50-100 would be nice, let's see what Goosetuned comes up with, it will never be as fast as farm truck and AZN...that is a fast truck. Anyway, in the meantime get a big steel pipe front bumper and cut up some old tires to put on the front of it, that way when you just shove him off the road there won't be any scratches to ID you as the culprit.....(just kidding, please don't do this at home)

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).

Yr rig is ****** if you cant beat a tundra. I call ********.

Yea I love the raptor for the overall experience. If you're worried about getting beat by "lesser" cars its going to get a lot worse with these electric cars with short distances. I mean on TFL the rivian is beating the TRX. I don't care for all electric but unfortunately its happening.

I've asked this before in response to posts like this. Always seem to get crickets.

I'm waiting for the, "My buddies truck is way faster than a Raptor!"
