@@manny_panties I have an 11 6.2L Platinum. Closing in on 200K. Very reliable drivetrain, yes it takes a bit more gas but I don't need to buy another truck! Did a tune up recently!
Our city has almost completed a “ring road” which is highly overdue. Sounds like Atlanta might want to do the same. Glad the Raptor handled the trip so well for you.
Welcome to my neck of the woods! I'm from Kentucky, I've got a 2010 SVT Raptor with the Boss V8 6.2 engine in it. I've just recently celebrated going from 14.9 mpg's to 15.8 mpg's. My truck has 138 thousand some odd miles on it currently, and the same KO2 BFG's, but I put the air recommended for towing at 65 psi. I think that's part of my success with the increase in better mpg's. Thanks for sharing your trip, and truck with us Gen 1 fans out here in TH-cam Land❤
I have a 2011 Raptor, with 233k miles and I regularly drive from Houston TX, to Modesto CA. Just made a trip first week of July ... Arizona was 110+ but my girl didn't bitch out. But I do take good take care of her. I maintain fluid changes, I do change the oil a day before I make a trip. I do alignment before a trip also. I love road trips in my raptor, I pull over at a Kool native American truck stop to sleep, I'll sleep in the back seat ... Has decent room for fetal position sleeping hehe
I forgot which app it was but when I got my raptor I changed a setting and the marker lights are always on now. It might have been on the laptop and I used a free trial. 3 years and they’re still always on even if the lights are off.
I learned my lesson at 16 years old, had my cruise control set at 75 in the rain... in Houston. Car spun 2 times and ended up facing on coming traffic stopped on the shoulder. Pure luck I didnt hit anyone or anything. hydroplaned like it was nothing.
heck yes! I've been thinking about supercharging the ZHP, but unsure about it. Can you shoot me an email, I have a few questions? shiftedperspectivellc@gmail.com
LA Traffic and the surrounding areas put Atlanta traffic to sleep because we have many more freeways yet they are ALL filled with traffic all the time. Horrible.
Also what day were you going through Atlanta? I was driving through on feb 3 when it was raining non stop. Traffic in Atlanta wasn’t terrible but like you experienced, I noticed 5-6 rear ends that just completely stopped traffic. Almost went crazy. Is as if no one knew how to drive in rain.
Most states in the United States have a Maximum speed of 70 MPH on Interstate Highways (also known as Freeways in some states), although most people do 80+ MPH and are not bothered by Highway Patrol Troopers. Usually 10 MPH over any speed limit is generally tolerated by law enforcement except in residential zones. There is a multi-lane highway in Texas that has a speed limit of 85 MPH for a 40 mile stretch. Some remote western States which have very long open expanses of highway, sometimes for hundreds of miles, (Montana comes to mind) don't have any speed limit in the daylight hours only.
My raptor has over 200k miles on it and she’s still running strong 😂
good to hear ! i'm only at 115k and hoping she'll hold out for a long time

Guys I see a raptor that I willing to buy. But 100k miles and a 2013. For 36k is that alot?
I’m from belgium
@@brianvanderheyden8927I say that’s kind of high, if it was in the 30 grand area I’d snag in a heartbeat
@@brianvanderheyden8927 yes!
My 2014 raptor has 275K still strong
What have you had to replace so far? Do you ever off-road it?
How about the price of Gas, #FJB....
Lol 118k isn’t high cmon man
Thank you for putting out gen 1 content. I love this truck.

We do. It’s I-285. At times, it’s not much better, but it’s there.

I have a gen 1 with 225,000 miles transmission and motor run like new no ticks or anything has 93 tune
Great Road Trip, after that kind of Trip with a Raptor you are broke here in Germany 😂
I-285 goes around ATLANTA.
My 03 jaguar had rear fogs & id turn them on while being tailgated and driver would assume I was braking 😅
What PSI are you running on the KO2's when driving on the road?
I. road trips! Do more of them!!
Never set Cruise Control in rainy conditions and especially not at 80 MPH. Glad everything went okay though.

Try I-285 next time when you come through Atlanta. It runs around ATL and connects you to multiple highways (I-85, I-75, I-20). Just FYI
Ugh. I feel your pain in Atlanta. Drove through there recently. Awful.
We have similar tastes, I drive a boosted ZHP, an E39 540i (03 M-Sport) and am currently shopping for a gen 1 raptor. Love the content.

Love the content bro, but please stop camping in the passing lane. Keep right except to pass
Where were you traveling from Missouri?
Great stuff. I have the same 2014 Gen 1 Raptor. Same color and mileage.
Front windshield tint helps with the auto headlights 😂
Euro spec e9Xs have the rear fogs as well. Plan to eventually get the plug n play lighting cluster for my e91
How much did you spend on fuel?
Enjoyed the random fact and the travelogue. The Raptor is a beast.
Dudes attitude and road rage comments are annoying. Had to stop watching
me too
Cool I did not know that
Mpgs???
Just wondering is 80mph your maximum highway/freeway speed limit? Australia here 🙃

@@joevanseeters2873 Thanks for the reply Cheers
Lol clearly never driven in California. Traffic is a way of life.
_Atlanta traffic is just as bad trust me I've been to both places and don't even get me started on NYC.._
Just bought a 2014 Raptor 2 months ago. Just driving locally near Atlanta and love it so far. Thanks for sharing this video!
How many miles?
@@oBLACKxHAWKo 110,000 Been looking for a Raptor group in the area if you know of any.
I have a 241,000 2011 Raptor SVT and it looks like it has less than 100k miles on it
Try Chicago 🫤
