Despite the Raptor’s exceptional off-road prowess, driving it on some good back roads was somehow a uniquely enjoyable experience. Those KO2s might have great dirt capability, but on pavement it’s easy to overwhelm them in the 2WD setting. Laying on the throttle through tighter bends shoves out the unweighted rear axle, and there’s enough power from that 3.5-liter twin-turbo Ecoboost V6 to get to 60 mph faster than a late-model Porsche Cayman. In sport mode, the suspension and steering firm up to turn the Raptor into some sort of Franken-performance car, but with several feet of metal and tire in between you and the road, there’s only so much the electronics can do. Still, it’s a blast to drive, even if you never leave the beaten path.
