Default 06 Harley Davidson trk vs 2011 Raptor

Well guys my neighbor just bought a 11 SVT Raptor. Man that truck is nice! To make a long story short he says he'll lay the smack down on me pretty bad. My truck: 06 Harley Davidson Truck stock except for a CAI system and Flowmaster exhuast. The only advantage that I may have is the weight difference and my truck is all time AWD. So what do you guys think?

I was working at a Ford dealer when the raptors were released. To say the least I was massively unimpressed. The 6.2L Harley and Limited F-150's move feel wayyyyy quicker.

of the top of my head i would say the raptor would beat u. why would ford make a different trim f150 (stock) faster than the raptor? what would be the point? plus the raptor probably has more aggressive tuning than the Harley.

my stepdad had a harley f-250 (2004). it was such a fun and pretty truck. he got this Edge tuner on it that was mounted on the pillar. u could adjust the computer just by pressing up or down. level 5 was labeled "extreme". i think it boosted it up to 700 something torque. man it would bounce the truck up and down coudlnt get any traction. of course it had the trubo on it though

The raptor is an offroad vehicle the limited and Harley are the opposite.

idk man, the raptor rides pretty smooth. I will say the limited and HD trucks are more oriented towards comfort though

The raptor has a 6.2 and makes good power, but it is heavy, WAY heavy. Like over 6500lbs heavy. It will get out of its own way but it's still a mid 15 second to 16 second truck. The Harley should beat it, but whether it does or not it's going to be a very close race. To the guy who asked why ford would make a truck that would beat the raptor...really man? A 5.0 f150 and the raptor are about dead even and an ecoboost (particularly the Tremor) will destroy it. Raptors are built for baja type running, not highway business. Although it is perfectly suitable for daily use.
