Towing with the Raptor

[CAbimmer]

Amazing how the MPG changes only 1mpg pulling 4k pounds. Had a great time at the track yesterday and a great drive home in the raptor.

I'm not sure if that's good or bad. Lol.

Good that it only drops 1mpg but kinda bad that it doesn't get more mpg when not towing.

ya this thing tows like a champ. i had my 8'x10' quad trailer with my fully loaded Outlander max on there and had a Ram pull up beside me at a light. he got a small jump off the line but then never got any further i think it shocked him. the look on his face at the next light was price less.

Are you mid perch? I've noticed I have a lot more rear squat since going mid perch.

Would the Raptor tow a 24 foot enclosed trailer?

I was pulling my zx6r on a uhaul trailer and was getting like 10mpg vs 14.
Not a positive exp.

Uhaul trailers are stupid heavy. I wouldn't worry about mpg towing those pieces of crap.

i know for me, i drive 55-60 when towing our quads, but my average speed not towing is around 75-80. im wondering if this could be why you only saw a 1mpg loss in economy as well.......
