Thanks for the responses guys. I figured sport would wake it up. The sales guy was hesitant to go for a drive so I didn't want to push it. Found a scab which may be quicker due to less weight, no sunroof. Thinking ill take it to Croom and The Firm for some Baja/rally/offroad fun.
Just to update, spent a few weeks with the Raptor. Great truck so far, very nice to dd. Actually get more compliments about the truck than the p car and bmw. Must be a Texas thing!
Great truck....but beware....First year of ownership for me has not been without frustration.....2 weeks out of service a month after delivery for an oil leak and going on 2 weeks plus for the same leak on top of another....My service dept has seen their fair share of the V6 turbos with problems.....Coolest truck I've owned and my my first Ford, probably my last
Lowering tire pressures a bit make it ride smoother
Towed open trailier + race car + bed overflowing with tools and spares - zero issues, 12MPG
Regular interstate 16-17mpg to tahoe
Wife loves it still
love the road feel
Drive over snowbanks or curbs with ease
Added big mudflaps and some interior organization mods
Going to quartz seal it tomorrow, then probably clear bra the front
Would love to do some off-roading in it where it won't get scratched to heck - you are in peninsula right? Any groups of guys that do light off roading?
I know there's a NorCal Raptor club but I've not looked much into it... I went down to the Hollister SVRA park which was fun, but not baja-style runs (low speed/obstacle course stuff).
I'd also be up to do some runs, but I get the impression lots of guys head south to desert for those big open fields/roads instead of fire roads around here.
Introducing my new supercab , 802A with, beadlocks and tech package. No sunroof. She's badass....I'm diggin' it. My local dealer starting the we only sell 10k over msrp bulls..t so I flew to Tennessee and was able to buy under msrp, drove it back over the weekend to Miami.
