here, on frf
im way past my street racing days. but even then, they were the midnight races where people closed down streets before a race. its one thing to speed, but to race against someone else on a popular highway, is definitely not a smart thing to do. i also had a bike. well capable of 230+mph. vehicles are slow (well most of them) going fast in a truck is just small penís syndrome.

I can totally understand you, my '19 had a tune and definitive better low end torque for daily driving.
(Wrote it somewhere on this forum already.)
As most of my every other week long distance driving is on cruise control anyway, in my case I do not mind it / get used to it.

Sounds like the Raptor R didn't give you the thrill you expected, but you’re still happy with your decision to go back to the '24 37. Everyone has their preferences, and it seems like the regular 37 fits your needs better.

Straight haters club: Y'all new Forum you can call it. I have no idea and I can't read minds if that Raptor was in Four (4) wheel drive, but I know we were in two (2) wheel drive, with dry roads and highways out here. Included: that Raptor R was a '23 by it's front lights/ front bumper configuration, and it was "dirty" as he-l. Lol. :cool:

** STRAIGHT HATERS FORUM "a subsidiary" of grumpy "OLDER" men & ? of the mother ship: "Ford Raptor Forum" Y'all need to stay off or go on some "really good" meds with your PTSD condition(s). Happy Holiday to Y'all and your families, unless you have them all tied up in your basements or steel containers that Y'all stole from somewhere along the way, and probably buried it underground below your tomato gardens, with your John Deere tractor and/ or your backhoe.
