how does the raptor handle onroad?
just wondering how the raptor handles onroad? can it corner good(for a pickup)?
|
My 6.2 handles like a doll. Takes the twisty roads better than my '02 F250 2wd. Freeway driving does require staying on top of things, as it wanders a bit. Soaks up potholes and frost heaves easily. Great brakes for having 35" tires.
On dirt it where the Raptor really shines, it's like driving a big rally car. |
hmmm....then i guess people over 40 dont know how to drive them? haha im dying to drive a raptor. man, the things id do with that truck.
|
Phydough...Is it just me or what but those 35"'s you referred to shouldn't they be about 2" inches higher/taller? The Raptor looks great with its husky appearance and all but the truck looks "lonely" with those empty wheel wells??? A TALLER tire/rim setup would look much better IMHO. What size can one go to "fill-in" that wheel well? Any opinion?

I'd love to have one. Wonder how much it can tow?

ArtsBest, I don't think 37's will fit, I have less than 3/4" between the tire and the rear of the fender while turning on flat ground. The tires nicely fill the wheel wells upon landing.
357windsor, Tow rating is 6000 pounds. I haven't towed with it yet so no towing reports. 93 mix 'n match, Are you calling me old? I'm over 40 by a bit and do know the proper way to drive a Raptor, hard. Just kidding you, I am old and still act like a child. Go get a Raptor and have a blast. |

Styling-wise and ability wise, Ford did a great job. With the 6.2 and possible inclusion of Terrain response, the EC Raptors are really tempting as a kickass weekend toy. Good job FOMCO:-drink |
