So, what is the fast speed you've done in your Raptor?

^ this is true! My Garmin reads 3 mph slower than speedo on truck. Always wondered if this was the case or it was sat delay or something like that. Does the same thing in my Edge so it is consistent.

As for fastest speed, I never exceed the stated speed limit. Admitting to such would justify additional driving award certificates I do not wish to have. As for dirt 100mph...

Usually, the indicated speed on the speedo should be three FASTER than what you're actually traveling. That way when you think you're being badass and doing 75 on the highway, the cops only see 72.

At least that's how all my Ford's have ever been.

They do that so they can save millions in warranty claims. They couldn't care less if you get a speeding ticket.

110 in Wisconsin. Turned off the limiter. Afraid of the big tires and going that fast. Truck sure does move though.

103 the day I picked it up from the dealership. And been pulled over 6 times in the 5 months I have had it. Only 1 ticket recieved. Cops are attracted to my awesome driving skills.

You guys have balls of steel to be pushing a 3 ton truck past 100mph

Only problem I've noticed at high speed is the effect of crosswinds. Braking power is ok if it's in T/H mode.

There's got to be a huge decrease in handling as well.

So, T/H mode increases braking performance?? I didn't quite understand that comment.

Within reason, the faster a Raptor goes the better it handles, my opinion. But the crosswinds in open areas are gusty and not predictable.

T/H turns on the engine braking.

The handling is actually still buttery smooth all the way to the limiter.
