New article from Car and Driver. - The highs of the vehicle far outweigh the lows! :)

Highs:
Astounding off-road performance
High threshold of abuse
Surprising comfort
Strong engine.

Lows:
Shift quality varies from slushy to jolting
Wider than a 1955 Land Rover’s wheelbase.

2017 Ford F-150 Raptor First Drive – Review – Car and Driver

For those doubters, C/D estimates 1/4 mile at 13.9 to 14.0 and 0-60 at 5.2-5.3. Thats decent, a couple tenths behind the old SVT Lightning.

I wouldn't get too excited about estimates. Real numbers may not be as strong. It would be nice but, thus truck isn't built to bea stop light racer.

It matches the hp and weights given, I've been saying 14 seconds flat for a while. Either way, one of the reasons I bought one is for the power. Slow cars suck ass.

Not saying it will be slow but I don't put much stock in estimates.
