The Fast Lane Truck - 2017 Raptor Drive

Didn't see this yet

I thought my current raptor fan was loud. This thing sure sounds louder.

Also, he says his raptor cuts out at 99. Do raptors have different governor speeds? Mine sure does not cut out at 99. I believe it's 110, but it's been a while since I verified it.

Doesnt sound too horrible....

Media doesnt get to drive it until December? Seems a little late as some guys might have their trucks before November now.

No kidding. Plus there was the guy who told me the media would have them by October, and yet here we are.

After this video, I really don't think it sounds terrible either.

Yes, they changed it on the 14'.

I thought TFLs truck was a 2014 like mine and mine goes beyon 99 MPH. Seems kind of strange that 2014's would have different max speeds.

I'll have to look back through their vids and verify it is a 2014. Maybe it's a 2013.

It was a 13'. I know for a fact that I can go over 99 with stock 14', no tune.

Actually, according to TFL web site, their raptor is a 2014.

No idea why he would say his only goes to 99.

One the truck sounds pretty good, atleast to me. Two I find it weird that people will be getting trucks possibly as soon as November, and the Media wont get to drive it till December.

What I found most interesting is that because of the lighter weight and higher power & torque the engineers had a couple "close calls". Meaning although it's easier to switch drive modes, it's also easier to kill yourself and your passengers on technical conditions at speed.

That motor is a beast and off road that could be a (life) limiting factor in the wrong hands.

The worst thing is being 100 miles out and someone wads up thier rig. Definite buzzkill.
