I suspect that it would be a once in a lifetime experience. :) But it's moot because I don't see any way that you could get there with only 700hp. It's got the wind profile of a motorhome ....
You'd be surprised. A dude took a stock TRX with some higher speed rated tires and went 177mph on the autobahn

Based on the instability that cropped in suddenly at 130 on my tuned gen 2 on 35s... I really can't imagine how ponderous things would get on 37s at 160....I definitely think it would go 160+ easy.

I’m not sure how you get 8.6mpg out of an eco Raptor. Is your commute rock crawling the Rubicon trail?

Even towing a 5-6K lb camper in hills at 65-70mph I still got 7.5. 8.6 is if you do cold starts at -10F and drive 1 mile and park it....lol Or literally only use both the gas and brake petal to the floor during the entire drive.

Wtf 11.1 mpg? Your R deserves better..I keep telling y'all it gets better when you're in single digit mileage. Someone confiscate his supercharger.

Not sure what's worse, double digit R mileage or 35>37. Smh..

LOL im on the opposite end. Have a IO Pedal tuner however to run in eco mode. This is after my trip home downhill from the mountains. Easy does it. Its never been this high.
5.7mpg in 115.8 miles for this tank.
