Its to help prevent axle wrap and wheel hop.

Nice, I just learned something new. I've seen that set up on dodge and Chevy trucks it didn't think they would do it to a raptor. As long as it works that's pretty awesome

I'm curious about the new kit coming out to correct this weird shock set up on a Baja inspired truck. I've heard that it will make the rear end do funny stuff in high-G turns that we won't want to have happen when bombing down the road......

Closed Course. Professional Driver. Do Not Attempt.

That sucks, we can't drive the Raptor in the desert

Can't drive it in the desert? Huh?

Exhaust sound sucks. But other than that, looking pretty good.

We actually might get some stats tomorrow according to TFL Truck!

"Ford just released a short video clip of the 2017 Ford Raptor prototype bashing through the Mojave Dessert. This is the first in a series of six monthly videos that will culminate in October of 2016 with a video titled “Ultimate off-road capability”. Ford did not release any new specifications with this video but the company maintains that the next generation Raptor will be “more than 500 pounds” lighter than the original version, due to its body and bed being made out of high-strength aluminum.

The 2017 Raptor will be powered by a new version of the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine that will be matched up to a 10-speed automatic transmission. It has a unique strengthened frame and larger FOX Racing Shox that work with the updated suspension for more travel than before. Ford was not afraid to jump the truck a few times, as you can see in the video. The video shows off the suspension at its full extension, slow speed articulation, and high speed cornering capability. A skilled driver can really have some fun with this truck. Ford will also feature the new version of the truck’s terrain management system that has six preset driving modes to help any driver in many challenging off-road situations.

Ford has invited TFLtruck to a meeting in Detroit, MI tomorrow (May 3, 2016) where more details will be announced about the new 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6 and the 10-speed transmission. Stay tuned for more information coming very soon."

Sounds like shit. Saw a lifted Chevy the other day, done up pretty nice for a street queen, guy stepped on the gas and out comes this gross V6 fart cannon exhaust sound and I proceeded to laugh. Just can't replace that sound of a V8 ripping through something.
