Where did hear this?

Neon is an idiot, but it's clear the OP is the one that needs to learn to drive.

2019 with Torsen - my pulls in 4A.

I was basing my question off of AutoVlog. He had an 23 Raptor Ecoboost, Ratpor R and TRX all in his driveway at the same time. I guess the paddle shifters actually feel responsive in the R because of the way it shifts. He made several comments about the shifting in the R vs the ecoboost. I...

Anybody know if the tweaks made to the Raptor R transmission will make it's way to the standard Raptor? Not the durability aspect, but just whatever they did to make it shift so fast...?

Maybe the Raptor isn't for you after all....

Of all the many reasons to get a Raptor, I never knew Torsen was so high up on the list.

Will the tranny be able to handle this and/or are you planning on beefing it up in any way?

Some folks can't even get a 3.5 at MSRP....

Agreed - they still used the 10r80 in the R, which is rated at ~590 ft lbs of torque. They *did* beef it up tho to accomodate the v8's extra torque, but I bet they did the bare minimum (probably along with the rest of the drive train). They should have just used the 10r140 from Super Duty.

New video today reveals it was the tie rods.

This is the third post I'm seeing heated steering wheel mentioned. Did something happen?

I thought all Raptor R's were essentially fully loaded...? What do you mean no heated steering wheel? Did you opt out of the moonroof? Based on some of the recent youtube reviews, it seems the moonroof and power tailgate are a combo (IE if you opt out of moonroof, no power tail gate). Wonder...

It's the same engine yes, but exact...? Peak torque comes in 500 rpms sooner, so I would expect some changes.

Copy/pasted from another thread. Gen3's probably don't kick the rear end out with the multilink, but the tire pressures are still relevant: Instructors at Raptor assault asked the group "how many of you have the rear end kick out on bumps in normal everyday driving?". The majority of the class...
