Compared to a Gen 2 Lightning or a Trackhawk, even a Gen 1 Raptor rides like a Caddy.

Even in my non live valve Gen 2, it still rides smoother than most other vehicles I've owned/driven.

I’ve always said, those who say the Raptor rides like a luxury car, what you smokin?

I rode in a new Ram and it was much smoother. I don’t want a Ram. I want a Raptor. It’s a real truck. It’s got a truck ride.
No clue why people say that either, Gen 2 rides great for a truck and its my favorite truck by far to drive daily, but is in no way comparable to an escalade or other luxury SUV. These reviewers and such hype shit up too much, or have never driven a true luxury vehicle.

I've been driving trucks for more than fifty years. The Raptor does not ride like a truck. It's not close. Luxury car? I have no idea. I don't drive those. But my gen 2 rides better than any car my wife has owned since we met, forty years ago. I'd have a hard time going back to a truck-like ride now.

Ha. We sold the wife's '18 escalade because it felt like it had no suspension. There is no getting around riding rough when it comes stock with 22" rims, and the magnaride shocks are poop.

Meh, escalade or other luxury SUV are SH--IT on anything outside a Starbucks run.
