Damper modes differences

[ray0409]

I have a 2021 f150 35 raptor. I wonder if I should feel the differences between the 3 damper modes on street. I have tried all 3 modes on the same rough road, but did not feel any difference. Besides, the damper seems to be softer than 37 raptors: my 35 raptor tilts a lot on corners while the 37 raptor feels firm on corners and does not tilt much. Is it normal? Thanks in advance!

I can only say that the difference in mine is very noticeable on curvy, mountain roads. Sport mode for those passes is a godsend around here.

Off-road definitely works well on gravel or FS roads. So yeah, it’s pretty noticeable in my 21 with 35s.

What are you running for tire pressure?

Thanks for sharing! I have also driven on curvy mountain roads and tried different modes. There were not any differences. I should probably go to a dealership to check it out.

Sounds like I was mislead by the dealer. I specifically asked if the tire pressure was too high and he told me it was fine. Thanks for the info!

Try 36 in the front and 34psi in the rear. Makes a difference in ride and traction.

Sport will keep the truck flatter in a corner than baja. In baja, the truck has a much more noticeable lean in a corner.
