2019 Raptor "preview"

[mamula]

Thanks for posting that you clearly don’t understand the basics of chassis control and weight transfer for ripping a 6000lb truck.

Will remember to ignore everything you post regarding suspension.

Glad to see the truck still dives under braking to transfer weight to the already understeering nature of the truck to help the back end rotate.

Maybe you like plowing corners and being slow - but people who rip don’t.

Bunch of armchair vehicle dynamic specialists in here who failed armchair engineering 101 at that.

I will report you to mommy for ignoring me!

Crap video , they won't tell what most people want to know , how it rides and handles with the live shocks.

There's an embargo on driving impressions. They said that in the video, hence why I called it a "preview"

Not just that, I saw the full assault video, the damn new raptors still body roll and nose dive effect after braking.
What the hell is the live shock doing for the vehicle?
I knew I was right with my intuition. I knew because no one not even ford showed any video prior to release of what the live shocks were gonna do for us. But they were quick to show the Recaro and trail control.

What video? Put up or shut up.

Shocks that can adjust damping on the fly doesn't suddenly turn a 3 ton off road truck into a flat cornering sports car.

Sounds like they are not allowed to disclose anything about riding and shocks, until date x.
Click bait.

Click bait Exactly

Which blue was that last truck? Seems like it was Performance

For those curious, I too have seen some of the videos from the FPRS. The new truck took a pretty substantial jump and upon landing, only compressed the back shocks halfway. I'm pretty certain my truck would have at least hit 80-90% of travel doing the same jump.

Now they have released the real video:

looks like the truck rides harsher on road and they cannot tell a difference in the seats. so we will see what other reviews say about the new shocks. at the same time they only sat in the things for about 5 seconds each, i dont think you can appreciate the seats until you sit in them for a while and drive the vehicle, even my girlfriends ford escape seats are comfy when you get in them for 5 seconds

At the end of the video they told, they are driving back to Colorado in a new 2019 Raptor and share the experience in the next video.
At the end it does not matter, I skipped a 2018 and ordered a 2019 mainly because of these shocks. And if its a firmer ride on the road, fine by me (living in Europe and used to Europe cars, which ride firmer anyway).
