Just disable stop n go with forscan or always use sport mode.

not start stop; using sport mode to disable that. stop and go is the improved adaptive cruise control that brings vehicle to full stop and flows in stop and go traffic. the cruise control in 2018 models can brake but not stop the truck. still great on highway but not useful in city traffic

He is talking adaptive cruise stop and go, I believe, not stop/start.

I really don't mind stop/start, and am a little bummed when it's cold and it isn't shutting off. Want to save as much fuel as possible because I'm too thrifty for my own good.

Regarding the shocks, I really like how the truck dives under braking and the front end extends at WOT. It makes it feel like more of a purpose built prerunner truck instead of just another regular F150 with bigger tires. I don't mind the slightly floaty feeling, I appreciate how soft it is (vital for our shit Michigan roads).

Doing the math I can’t justify getting the 2019 since it looks like $5k off will be possible it’s such a price difference I’ll take the old shocks!

We are all speculating about this live shock. I can't wait to see the reviews on YouTube when people get their hands on it.
I will be ready with my popcorn in my hands, and ears to the ground, making sure I heard everything said!
It's funny how people say that the raptor was great for both off Road and city without issues, but now the new shocks are coming out all of a sudden people are now talking about this live shock fixing floating and nose dive braking effect. How come all of a sudden 2018 is no longer good?
Hehehehehe. I guess this is what life is about! Lol. Humans will never bE satisfied. I want some more.
I hope it is good, I really do, but knowing the tech industry, I believe it will be a buster!

If this live shock ever works, it will be more beneficial for the off-road jumpers! On road drive you won't notice crap! What does it have to adjust when the wheels are already planted on the ground?

You don't even drive a Raptor of any type to make an informed opinion on the matter. Just because something rides well doesn't mean it can't be better.

Just TUNING changed the world for magneride shocks.

They were amazing stock, then once i got an aftermarket controller for them. WOAH. Like 2 seconds per lap at a track where a quick lap is 1:50.

No one can look me in the eyes and tell me that for non-race use that traditional shocks & struts are better for road courses than magneride competitors. No one here is racing a raptor, so i think the context is clear.

I'd imagine as the technology evolves, it will change the game.

mamula really needs to just delete his account. Dude straight posts nothing but conjecture and (as you pointed out) doesn't even own a Raptor. Facts, logic, and THEN theory or ****.

Jake17 is gonna get jealous of him real quick.

No one will look anything. We're on an internet forum with a bunch of strangers. Our opinions don't carry any weight. What I or you say shouldn't mean anything unless this is what you really look forward to every day.
