need advice please on Ranger Raptor purchase

[SoutheastRangerRaptor]

I want to thank everyone so yesterday i pulled the trigger on the RR at msrp,walking distance from my house. The test drive did it for me i was not expecting it to be so fun and ride and handle so well. I took it at 70 on the freeway to see how obnoxious the road noise was going to be(which i fully expected). It was ridiculously quiet i was shocked. Only put about 30 miles on but definitely i can see why they are in demand

One note, watch that heavy right foot. This truck is fast! I have surprised myself several times when I looked at the speedo on the highway and saw I was going over 90. It rides very smooth at speed.

No sweat. Upon reading again, I can understand. Sometimes we just get in a hurry.

Keep it in 4A to save your rear tires ?

Guys, what mode do you do daily driving in? I thought putting it in 2H would be better for gas mileage, but really am not sure. What do you guys / ford recommend for daily commuting on surface roads?

I find the best mileage on dry good pavement is in 2H. In any rain or any wet surface, always in 4A or 4H . . . it prevents the light back end from losing traction, fishtailing and spinning the rear tires when starting from stopped.

Sorry my friend, I didn’t mean to mislead you. I keep mine in sport mode and 4A because it's very easy for me to spin the rear tires and wear them out while I'm getting used to a truck with this much power. I agree with gmpetrie.
