#Raptor sky walker last oasis driver
Honestly though, while I was embarresed and a bit disapointed to be stuck in teen driver mode, all four of us had an amazing romantic getaway. Honestly though, this feature is a great thing for families since I'm not sure that I'd trust a teenager not to "borrow" it when I'm not looking :) For us though, it was real bummer since we couldn't test it fully in the way it was designed to shine. Unfortunately for us, that key was in Ford's fleet management office several hours away. In a normal ownership situation, this would be an easy fix - simply use the "Admin Key" and override the settings. It will also track the distance traveled with that particular key. You can create a profile that the car will recognize once the key is placed in the ignition and that includes features like max speed, traction control, and limiting the radio to a max of 45% volume. Simply put, it is "teen driver mode" and allows you to neuter this powerful truck so that your son (or daughter) can't have too much fun with it. MyKey is actually a great feature that makes this truck even more realistic to own for anyone with kids. only to discover I couldn't change out of "normal" mode. So there I was with three other people into the cab waiting for me to show off my prowess as an amateur Baja racer. except that during my pre-trip exploration I discovered the "MyKey" feature and after messing around with various settings locked us out of all that amazing ability.
It also includes six different modes ranging from "normal" to "Baja" where the Raptor will hold the RPMs as high as possible, relaxes the traction/stability systems, and essentially gives you the most direct control of the truck possible. These include an app that shows you what angles you are at, along with the positioning of the wheels. The Raptor also features a bunch of cosmetic upgrades as well including a mean looking front grille, Raptor emblems sewn into the seats along with other badges.įinally, the Raptor also features a host of electronic capabilities designed to make it even more capable off road.
This includes a strengthened steel cage, a High-Output 3.5L EcoBoost V6 pumping out 450 hp and 510 lb-ft of torque, 10-speed automatic transmission, 3" FOX Racing Shox with 13" of front and 14" of rear suspension travel. This is far more than just "dad's toy"!įor the one person reading this who isn't familiar with the Ford Raptor, it is based on the Ford's F-150 platform but upgraded in every conceivable way to make it the ultimate "sports truck". The truth is that the truck goes way beyond that and after spending a few days testing it out with my wife and another couple during a getaway to Borrego Springs, California, I'm even more impressed. While most reviews focus on it's extreme off road abilities as a Baja racing truck that you can buy from a dealer vs building your own.
The Ford Raptor is hands down the most fun truck or SUV that I've had the chance to test - ever. This is a different sort of Raptor review.
