Took Raptor on a 6.5 hr road trip over weekend. Very good riding vehicle. By far this is the quietest Bronco i have owned so far. Seats and suspension are great! Wish the steering wheel could come back a little more and the heat was hotter. (The steering wheel doesnt even come close to how hot the seats get!)Im 6.4 and can't get or havent found the perfect position yet. Averaged 15.8 mpg both fill ups. Was actually getting 16.4 briefly. What kind if mpg is everyone else seeing?

I get about 15.0 average, but I'm on heavier E-rated tires that are also a tad taller than the BFG's.

Farthest I've driven is 1100 miles one way from TX to Moab and I found the seats quite comfortable the whole way. Wind noise from the top and poor fuel economy leading to low range is really the only downsides to road tripping it.

I have done a couple long range trips, comfort wise its awesome. Usually running around 15 mpg now at 78 mph, but I am on D rated tires now.
