Anyone with a Raptor??

[babanist]

Hello guy,

Does anyone drive a Raptor here? It would be great to share the knowledge about the car since I'm new here and just got mine recently.

Thank you.

We did a short test drive of the beast, apart from quad bike style performance in areas of power display, its a awesome machine.Unfortunately after 20mins of fooling around, the Auto transmission light lit up saying it was hot.
But our test run was in Big tasty "Al wagan dunes", it should be fine in other areas. On Gatch, kaccha, or dirt roads it fly's to awesome speeds.

I thought the raptor came with a beefed up transmission oil cooler?

Yes it does, but seems that it wont stand upto heavy punishments.

Thank you :)
Which model did you guys test drive? I did see a transmission cooler and something that looks like a transmission radiator so i am wondering if the one on the 2013 model is any different to the older models.

I took it to Sweihan last Friday for a 60 minutes drive more or less and it did not over heat (i was particularly keeping an eye on the transmission temperature) but that was a relatively easy drive for beginners so it would be great to get some comments from other owners too.

proper maintenance of tranny cooler/filter/oil plays an important role. No?

I guess that the heavy duty for ford isnt that heavy duty .... i was expecting better though

I still think the raptor is a cool truck ... looks awesome .... transmission heating up isnt an issue which cant be easily resolved
