Ok some one do a zero to 60 time

[Jakenbake]

This would matter to less than 1% of raptor and TRX owners. Why does everyone think this is the end all be all of these trucks?

“The Ford Raptor completed running the Baja 500, which serves me well while I’m running to Dunkin Donuts and McDonalds.”

The reason it matters to some is that while the truck is not a trophy truck, not a beamed and linked ranger, it is pretty capable for a factory truck. It handles the rough stuff pretty well.

The truck going down to baja is a measuring stick of how well it performs in the rough stuff much like a 0-60 describes how quickly a vehicle accelerates.

Have you had the opportunity to get your truck in the dirt at speed? If you have not, I highly recommend it.

Just wait for the tech guys (non car guys with zero experience of driving something fast, let alone THAT fast) to get their hands on those Plaid models… that cannot be a good combo

Oh yea.

Well in people's defense, they want the most capable vehicle for the money. But I get what you're saying

Dreams sell, not reality. For the off-roading I do, a standard F-150 could handle it. And that's the case for 99% of those on here that off-road. And I bet only a tiny portion of us offroad at all.

But the look and power of the Raptor is what made me get one.

Because it is a “Baja Race Truck”…. Please stop posting about TRX’s until they have attempted the Baja 1000…. As far as all experts are concerned except “Car and Driver” they are asphalt queens…

... all experts are ... asphalt queens…

When you take out the fluff, that's what your sentence says. I LIKE it!

The Dragy is spot on with the drag strip so I have read so it should be a fun comparison.


Found this screen shot which shows some of the stats you can record.

Stupid question time- is Dragy an App or a V-Box?

Since @Oldfart is under the weather, I'll throw this out here ...

That axle wrap makes me cringe... Way too much power for no traction bars or deavers, something the Gen 3 solves with that 5 link!

I really like the looks of the SVC traction bars and they are on my list of mods to do.

SVC makes some great stuff, and traction bars are a must have for street launches in tuned trucks.

They made all the difference on a buddy's 1000 hp Cummins, without sacrificing too much clearance.
