it'll go away on it's own even if your foot is to the floor....less weight, more power, more gears, I forsee more threads comparing tailgate options in the future because they'll be one of the most frequently seen body panels lol

if that's your spin on it, then yup following exactly in the footsteps of the gen 1....oh wait, the gen 2 has more travel, bigger shocks, less weight, and more power, making it more offroad capable, while having staggered shocks that won't hurt it's offroad ability yet provide even better on-road response. Win win :crazy:









Yeah staggered shocks are just going to totally eliminate the ability to offroad lol.









Gotta love people who can't wrap their head around something that doesn't look like they expect, don't understand it, so clearly it can't work :specialed:



Lol a negligible amount of travel and from what I can see less potential to gain travel like the gen 1 without significant mods, stop quoting bigger shocks, they're pointless and deserved to be scrapped because they are non adjustable in both height and tunability, more parts to break when you're out in the middle of no where, staggered shocks that no one in the off-road community uses. The gen two is a big pass unless you're a pavement princess lol.

well maybe the negligible amount more travel will offset that negligible amount of potential travel gain on the gen 1s lol.

Gen 1 rear shocks couldn't be adjusted either, so you're arguing apples vs oranges going from rears being staggered on gen 2's vs fronts being adjustable on gen 1's.

PS, Ford isn't stupid, they know tons of Raptor guys do perch mods, and were missing out on a Ford Racing alternative aftermarket for lifting the front.....bet ya a dollar you'll see something in the Ford Racing catalog for the Gen 2's to get the front up with perch mods since they're no longer a free mod option.

gen 2 a big pass unless you're a pavement princess? lol You don't have to like the appearance of it, but the jealousy seeps right through your post that Ford made improvements for the new truck.


LOL. I was talking about you, personally......

You really aren't the sharpest tool in the shed are you lol :crazy:

Lol no jealousy here, I could purchase the gen 2 cash in hand, not interested in the least. So your argument is that there is a fair trade going from perch adjustable front shocks to wonky retard staggered rear shocks? Lol any credibility left is now gone.

Compared to you, nobody on the whole ******* forum is very smart. I mean, you know literarily everything there is to know about a truck that hasn't even been released yet. And then continue to go through other threads and spread your vast knowledge on subjects like Platinum and King Ranch trucks. You sir, are the Wizard of everything Ford, and we all bow to you.

I think it sucks there's no free mod in the front shocks anymore, but I don't think Ford is doing it unintentionally.

And I am glad they went with staggered rear shocks, axle wrap sucks and my truck gets more street use than offroad use. "Wonky retarded staggered rear shocks" = clueless on suspension dynamics.

Yup whatever you have to blabber about. I've been on here for years, and have yet to see a worthwhile post from yourself other than trolling along. At least when I troll I'll throw valid reasons and arguments towards my point. :flipthebird:

All of these posts aside my wife watched the video and laughed and said how many skid plates, etc. did they go through filming that video. She knows first hand the capabilities of this truck versus what is advertised and immediately called *********. No doubt it will be more capable, but they advertise it how I drive it and that means shit will break LMAO.
