[QUOTE="jamanrr, post: 1569553, member: 18623"] Just some observations on the Raptor as a long 3 hour trip on the interstate. They have increased the speeds on our interstates to 80 mph. Is it me or does everyone on the interstate try to race you in a Raptor? I realize the factory cut off is 110 but I have never seen so many people either want to see it run or just like be idiots on the roads. The lane keep assist and adaptive cruise sometimes is not quick enough to catch slower traffic pulling into your lane. I think that maybe the cameras are not quick enough to make the truck brake, accelerate, etc. I did ride in sport mode quite a bit as I have owned lots of turbo vehicles and they tend to like high octane gas and love full acceleration pulls. Blows the carbon build up out of the engine and makes it run smoother. Overall, it was a great trip and the truck performed great and the wife even drove it for a bit. My wife would love to get a truck but maybe an Explorer, Ascent or a new Bronco. I mainly just surprised at how other drivers treat the Raptor, maybe it is the 37s or the overal height of the truck but I am not going to do crazy things in it that would result in wrecks but I guess you drive a truck with a detuned Ford GT motor in it then you should expect for people or most everything to try and race you. I am sure it is no different then what GTR, Shelby Mustang, and even what I experience in my STI. The Raptor is not a sports car, be safe out there and don't take any unneccessary risks. [/QUOTE]
