2019 Need to knows before signing the papers

[Carbonalpine]

Walking in tomorrow to sign the papers on a 2019 Raptor CC. I drive a lot of highway and read somewhere the rear end sways and isn't very solid hitting bumps on highway, meaning it doesn't feel solid. Is this isolated or typical?

Any other issues that I need to know? Just to better understand what to expect, not that I'll back out

Thanks a lot

The rear end can get a little skitterish in corners over rough terrain..it only happened to me a couple times (all on the road) but it can be lessened by dropping the tire pressure...Ford say 38 psi all around, I run 36 up front and when empty 31 in the rear, it really helps...

i feel the complete opposite, i had a regular 2015 f150 and 2004 before that and if you hit a bump on the highway either going straight or around a turn the rear end would feel like it wanted to kick out. With the raptor i dont feel this at all and the suspension really soaks up the bumps. This truck is so much better to drive on the highway, its not even a comparison.

I’m coming from a lifted wrangler on 35’s. So you can imagine anything’s an upgrade.

I've had the issue with the truck jumping to the side at speed when hitting a bump. It leaves you with a somewhat skittish feeling after it happens a few times, especially in traffic. I'm going to try to lower the tire pressure and see what happens. That being said, i would not let it deter me from purchasing a '19. The truck has so many great features, looks really amazing, is very fast stock, and is very customizable, if thats your thing. I only have 500 miles on mine so its still all new to me. I'm going to continue to try different settings and may even change out the rear springs as someone suggested, if the lane jumping becomes too much to handle. I just cant understand why my '14 didnt do it. Maybe the suspension set up was different, I dont know, but I'm going to try to talk to a few suspension experts and see how they feel about it.

Deavers help with any rear end issues.

But the raptor isnt a highway vehicle particularly

I have done several 500-100 mile road trips. At 90mph, this thing is planted. Never had a worry about it jumping around.

I have seen that you tube video...that guy is crazy.

I think its a tire pressure issue. First thing when I got mine was drive it home 400 miles and it felt like that. Mine was set at the dealer to 48psi all around. Once I got home I lowered the pressure to 38 like recommended on the door and the "bounce" went way down. I usually run 37F; 34R now and it feels fine. It is a truck so its not going to drive like a car on the highway ever no matter what you do.

yep...39 front 35 rear for me.
