That's fair--it was better in sport.
I was reading the thread and first thing I thought, did you try it in Baja or Sport mode via the dial to eliminate this issue? I was underwhelmed when I first got mine, it felt sluggish, slow to respond at most speeds and thought maybe I made a mistake. I didn't know about the dial modes and just punched buttons like an idiot changing settings on the steering wheel for a week until I turned the dial and got it in sport mode. Again; my opinion, in sport it it is fine, holds rpms the right way, responsive on the throttle and if you really want to feel the power use the paddle shifters in baja mode. Thats incredible, along with holding the rpms in the 5k range is where the power is for sure. Best of luck with the new truck, looks similar to my R (well except the awful graphics on the back ;) )

Agree with ? The 2023 rims on the Raptor V6 with the 37 P.P. or the 2023 Raptor R are the absolute "FRIGGING" best, even if you wanted to give me the right offset and either 9" or 9.5" Vossen HFX wheels, I'd tell you to keep them, hands down, but a set of half (1/2) inch six (6) lug aluminum spacers is the ticket, your wheels & tires don't stick out past your fender flares, and I luv the stance it brings, from any angle, north, south, east or west.

I can’t believe they gave you 125 for the R and that much below msrp. Awful deal for that dealer.

I think dealers are struggling to sell 37 packages without discounting them. 94k for an eco Raptor is a hard sell when 35 Raptors are 81k.
