Cat & mouse with a F-150 Raptor R

[YukonRanger]

Bumped into a Raptor R on my first road trip in the new truck!

Big Raptor definitely could pull on me, slowly walked away every time. But I was pleasantly surprised how well the little ranger kept up, it was by no means a slaughter. There were far more entertaining moments than this one, but here we have a perfectly legal pass no harm no foul.

Few mins later he gave me the thumbs up and we parted ways

super fun!

What drive mode were you in? Sport definitely gives you more pull and for smooth mountain roads it just feels right…..

my buddy in colorado has a full size raptor and he said he and a ranger raptor were having fun playing on the highway. he said the ranger raptor did very well, also.

(his f150 raptor is a hennessy raptor thats goosetuned so its not a regular raptor)

Add Ford Performance module and tune to 455hp add badging and give the F-150 RR a run for the money. BTW I am going to sell the Bead Locks Wheels and rings in a future post.

Dang!
I'd loved to have ran into them. Came up on one on the interstate, and couldn't get him to go.
Embarrassed a guy with a drive out tag on his new vette, he started pulling closer to me at 130 my back bumper by 140, luckily ran outta runway & slowed down before he could get by. I had just filled up, bed full of tools, and muddy from off-roading.

Naw man, it's an inherent responsibility as an Raptor owner, especially and Raptor R owner to always "GO" whenever it is safe to do so.

im 100% bone stock

2000 miles on her

if I had to guess in quarter mile he’d beaten me by a truck length or so

I was in sport/sport/sport/baja

I think maybe baja/sport/sport/baja would have been a touch faster

With you on sport mode in the mountains...also like the shift points going downhill as not to ride the brakes.
