Just yesterday I was in stop n go traffic on the 401 in Toronto & needed to get into the next lane , slowly rolling along I saw an opening & nailed it & it spun the tires while it was still rolling . While de-rated from the Raptor on paper, I dont think they have any less "real" power. With the power management noted by Gdetrailer sometimes the truck feels slow on part throttle and other times like a rocket at more throttle it very much depends on how its driven beforhand. I know that construction related companies appreciate the fact that it dosent have jackrabbit takeoffs so that the equipment and materials dont end up slamming into the tailgate.
