Currently own a 2017 raptor. Fully loaded, except no heated steering wheel or heated rear seats. It has 802a and technology package.
First off I love the truck ! I have owned it since January 26. Bought it with 7500 miles on it in excellent condition.
Ok , today I was at a stop light and I was in a off/right lane that eventually merged into one lane in about 200-300 yards. I chose the right lane because there were 5 cars in the left lane, and the right lane was wide open. What I did was perfectly legal, but when you are in the right lane, you need to get out ahead of the traffic in the left lane before the two lanes merge into one. Light turns green and I take off a little quick, but not burning the tires or pedal to the floor, maybe half throttle, just enough to clear the left lane of traffic. Well next to me was a Chevy cross over suv and he decided he not let me in and he put his pedal to the floor. I had to really get on it, I probably had my pedal down to three quarters throttle to the floor in comfort mode. I was shocked that I just cleared him barely. I thought I would have blown by him.
My question is all the reports have the raptor doing 0-60 in 5.1 seconds. If this truck does 5.1 seconds I should have walked away from the Chevy cross over. I was in normal mode. I have not driven the raptor in sport mode yet.
My question is does sport mode bring this truck to life or are the 0-60 times highly exaggerated. Just curious from raptor owners who have a lot more experience than me. Thanks.
