GEN 2 My truck is gutless !!

[SSWIM]

Beautiful Raptor...love the color..!! Well,if you wanted "guts" should of bought a Gen1 6.2 .... and adding a SuperCharger wouldnt hurt..LOL..!

You will have to supercharge the 6.2 to make it out run the 3.5. Cause stock it sure wont do it. LOL

My 2011 was Roush Supercharged and I gotta say the '19 is comparably peppy with the lighter weight, 10 speed and twin turbo V6.
I expect the '19s gonna definitely be faster when I get a tune in it.

Not available for '19s until next month (we hope!)

True, I'm just waiting for them to release the firmware update. I have the Stage 2+ on a 17 and it hauls.

My friend's supercharged 6.2 won't outrun my stock 17, on road or offroad. He comments such every time we ride together.

How many miles on it? The computer limits power for 500+ miles for break-in.

Wut? Mine has run like a bat out of h*ll from the get-go.

I received the truck with a empty fuel tank. I filled it with either 93 or 94. I test drove one and it seemed snappy, I was driving my 13 Denali that day and it felt close in power, slightly less but my D was chipped. On the highway at 100 km it is a dog when I floor it (to pass). I am thinking that the computer may be detuned for 500 miles but I am just guessing. So far unimpressed, I am being realistic, I never expected it to be muscle car fast...

perhaps the transmission is not down shifting very aggressively yet

Huh? [emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23]

It may sound funny, but there's probably some truth to it. When I first got my Raptor I was underwhelmed by the performance. I actually thought there was something wrong because I couldn't even hear the turbos spool which was a noise I was very much looking forward to hearing after hearing it in multiple videos I had watched during the long wait between placing my order and actually picking up the truck. Right around 500 miles on the ODO, things came alive. I could clearly hear the turbos spool, the transmission is less sluggish and the truck as a whole feels lighter on it's feet than when it was still in that "break-in" period.

You did 5.2 0-60 on the street? From what I've seen, real world is probably more like low 6 second 0-60

My 2018 has 6200 miles on it. I’ve had it just over a year and I easily can do 0-60 in 5.2 with no mods whatsoever.

I picked my ‘19 up from KC dealer two weeks ago and drove back to Denver (all side roads to vary rpms and break it in properly). What I noticed (and read) is that initially the transmission is learning and the shifts not optimal. After a while the transmission started feeling on point and the truck seemed more alive. Just my 2 cents

On a side note, I used to hate driving thru boring ass Kansas. I have a whole new appreciation for the state and the roads after doing all side/scenic routes back to Denver.

5.2s 0-60 is pretty impressive for a wide-bodied truck running 35s, but, like you say, it aint no sports car, and F150s with less power are faster simply because they have less rolling resistance. Nothing else off the factory line will keep up once the going gets rough, tho.

I'm not into drag racing with an off-road build, but I've read that the 2nd Gen Raptor is the third quickest mass-produced truck ever. Up to 70mph or so it should best any single turbo F-150, easily beats a Coyote equipped one. A lot of those youtube videos show chipped XLT 4X4s on slicks, a normal 2.7/3.5/5.0 nF150 will lose 0-60.

#1 was the SRT-10 (Ram with Viper motor), #2 was the 2nd gen Lighting (F150 with supercharged 5.4), so being number 3 in paved acceleration is nothing to dismiss considering it is a wide-body with AT-35s and skids and...yeah.

Sports car? Forget it, but you weigh near 3 tons!
