2019 Raptor Intel

[DEGBTI]

These shocks don’t hurt it’s off road performance and will undoubtedly help on the street where it’s driven the vast majority of the time. I think it’s you that should do some research on where Raptors spend most of there time.

haha, I love it! Guys with no reading comprehension. I never said that they don't spend most of their time on the street. I said the were designed for off road, AND you can use them on the street. Maybe YOU should do some research my friend.

The 7.0L V8 isn't until 2020.

When I got lunch today, my waiter told me he read on his uncle's blog that a supercharged, 1,000hp, 10L, V10 will be a mid-2019 upgrade. Best part is Ford will not increase the price for the new engine!!! Anyone still waiting to buy should keep waiting. My waiter promises me it will totally be worth holding out for.

Not sure why you are so opposed to a truck that can change damping modes.

While the Raptor is the most off-road worthy truck you can buy, no doubt Ford made some compromises in the 17/18 shocks to accommodate street use. Probably something like 80% off-road and 20% street or whatever balance Ford/Fox engineers used when designing the original fixed damping settings.

With electronically adjustable shocks, now it can be 100% off-road AND 100% street.

It's exactly like the rear locker. Locker when you need it off-road. Open diff on the highway when you don't want it. Same idea.

If the Raptor was designed for off-road use, why does it have airbags, ABS, turn signals, and doesn't include a 5-point harness? Oh yeah, that's right, Ford made compromises for street use.

HAHA, the electronic shocks are such a gimmick. Adjusting when the truck gets air? haha. Its called valving. A correct set up off road shock already does this. Been around real race trucks my whole life and nobody, nobody uses electric shocks! They use properly set up socks that already do everything this new shock does. What is the advantage other than a sales gimmick to those who are not savvy enough to know the difference. My Fox, non electric shocks currently are soft and supple on the road, soak up whoops easy and also hold the truck up perfect when landing. Every trophy truck that leaves the start line in the Baja 500 next week will do so with non-electric shocks and will do the job just fine. As well as every factory pro motocross bike on the start line at Glenn Helen this weekend for the National. It sounds cool to those who dont know better, I get it. But in the real world its just a selling point to the guys who put 20" wheels on their Raptors

Or because it is brand new tech. Idiots...the only difference between this and an adjustable click shock is that now you've got a computer doing the adjustments for you, on the fly (literally) so you have the best setting all the time.

Good luck goin back to stock...

I feel a little relief after this for my 2018 order that I’m waiting on. There’s some nice options but no sense on waiting for the new shocks at this point.
