What did you do to your Raptor today? (Gen2)

Torque multiplication. More torque sooner results in quicker, more “power” for acceleration. It’s why a relatively small engine in an 18-wheeler can get 20 tons up to speed quickly.

I ran 5:13 gears in my 1967 6cyl Camaro back in the 60s. I could out-accelerate (outrun!) big block Chevelles with only 1/3 the power/engine torque.

Did the car top out at 70mph maybe? Lol

Interesting. But, yes, what are the down falls of that? Early top out?

All that junk in the front but can't last long...

Any chance you can post them?

I didn't save any... however you can search any one of: F150 Tesla/F150 Phoenix/F150 Linkswell/F150 GU screen, etc and come up with them.

Cheers on that.

Doesn't seem terrible. But let me dig deeper in this..

The reviews on pretty much all of them are fairly horrible. The ones that work people like, but that’s the catch.

As to the thread, was gonna change my oil today. However high for today is supposed to be in the 20s, “cold” for Texas. What really sux is we get ice instead of snow, no one knows how to drive on it (or smart enough to stay off), and none of the local governments ever prepare for it properly. Not to mention we’re in “hill country”. Road to town shut down so poor Raptor sits in garage today. May change oil yet.

Got the new Nitto Recon Grapplers today 35/12.5/17. So far I really like them.

An E rated 35/12.5/17 tire at 67lbs? Interesting.

looks great. What tires did you have before and how do they compare?

My E rated Coopers are 63lbs... but it's a 315

Yep, that’s what I find interesting
