Rear suspension: independent vs solid axle..

[vladi]

Hi, just wondering what the disadvantages and advantages of the raptor not having a independent rear suspension. And why Ford have decided against implementing this.

Gonna say money is a huge issue

If trophy trucks and pre runners that are over 500k dont use IRS do you really need it?

Because it's a truck. Not an SUV that requires soft road ride quality

Cost.

Plus after seeing how the front IWE's handle on the Raptors I wouldn't trust them to design anything worth a crap
