Raptor envy?

smh everyone talking about all the female attention they're getting are clearly living a fantasy. This is the true Raptor experience (same with owning a motorcycle)

Oh man, I totally noticed the Ram guys with their black on black cookie cutter trucks are always riding on my right side, or driving like morons to get next to me. Something about those Ram owners.

Large FORD on the tailgate=

Fu€k Off Ram ****** haha

I'm glad to see the consensus is that Ram truck drivers are the biggest D-Bags. Thought it was just my experience.

In my experience, I've noticed the opposite. I'll see another truck hauling ass behind me, and then when they realize I'm in a Raptor, they quickly slow down. Anyone else experience the same?

I had it happen all the time when I had my Ford Lightning. It was a 2002 that I owned for 17 years.
But it was more than trucks, it was Vettes, etc etc.

Yes my Raptor gets a lot of Wanna Be Racer attention too. Not so much now because people know what the Raptor can do but in 2017 lots. Mostly Chevy and Dodge trucks and surprisingly Econobox SUV's. The Sport Mode button should be called the Jaw Dropper. Off the line in Sport Mode there aren't many stock cars or trucks that can compete. Beware the Teslas though, off the line they can be quicker than expected. I got surprised by one that I assumed I had smoked off the line but I went to change lanes and he was right there in my blind spot! The little yellow light saved me. The other surprise was an older 2500HD Chevy 4×4 Crew Cab Long Bed Lifted Turbo Diesel. I was just cruising at 75ish in the middle lane. He comes up on me and paces me in the left lane side by side. Ah its a Coal Roller so Ill just pass him before I hit the next log jam. Well he floors it and cuts me off in a black cloud. I dont like to be behind those kerosene BBQs. So next break in traffic I put it in Sport Mode and passed him just barely. Hes then tailing me till the next opening. Comes beside me on the right and I floored it but at that speed Sport Mode does not do much. My truck is stock. He was staying at my side slightly ahead. So I Iet him go. I was running out of gearing and we were coming up on the next log jam.

Some of the older Chevy Turbo Diesels are amazingly quick at freeway speeds. Dont know what size engine he had, only saw 2500HD badge and the huge exhaust outlet. Beware the black cloud! The other truck to beware is the old Dodge Ram with the Viper V10. Very fast and torquey. And the F150 Lightning Muscle Trucks are quick too.

The Econobox SUV tailgaters are just wishing. When traffic opens up I I'll put it in Sport Mode and let 'em smell some Sulphur. But inevitably they will come up later at high speed and pass me through traffic. Whatever, beat and release is my motto. They will feel good now thinking they beat a Raptor! Live the dream!!!

The other thing is I have NEVER had women come up to me to compliment on any other vehicle. Several fine looking girls have come up to me and told me "I love your truck". Wow, very cool. One was even with her husband. He walked away...

Wanna go for a ride?



Aloha, HT

I do notice that as well. It's far from universal that other trucks want to challenge Raptors. Plenty definitely seem to yield to it and respect it.
