Need to put it in off-road mode to keep the diffs locked at that speed. I noticed that it was difficult to get it out of 3rd gear when gunning it. I was on a lake bed and it seemed I couldn't get past 100 fast enough when in off-road mode, it kept the gears longer than I anticipated.

Yeah I was on a long straight service road yesterday and it didn't leave 4th in offroad mode I was doing 95mph

So i am very interested in actually taking my '14 Raptor to the drag strip, just got a Catback, K&N kit and Superchip porgrammer. As we all know, trucks aren't good off the line since all the weight is at the front and there RWD so they just spinin' and you ain't winnin'. So i was wondering if it would be safe to launch it in 4x4 at the strip, no turning or nothing. If anyone has gone underneath there raptor they will notice the massive transfer case and how heavy duty it is and the front drive shafts are. So i would think it would be safe to do a couple times since you're only gonna be doing around 90mph and i'm not putting 700bhp to the drivetrain. But i would really like to hear from you guys and see if you think it's safe.

(FYI, first time posting, so sorry if it's in wrong place)

You're not the only one to take the truck down the track.

Based on past posts, 4x4, in offroad mode, manual shifting is the recommended plan of attack.

I would make sure you're in 4 hi before pulling up to the line. You'll want those IWEs to be seated before taking off. Don't pull up and then turn the knob, turn it while slowly coasting up to the line.

Lastly, don't forget to extend your tail gate step for extra down force on the rear. Lol.... just kidding on the last thing, but it would be funny as hell if you actually did it.

Be ready for some hellish wheel hop. You will need to get some traction bars now.
