Taking speed breakers in your Raptor

Ironwood · Mar 9, 2018

How does your truck do over speed breakers? Do you ignore them or do you have to slow way down? There are also those ten foot wide, one foot tall speed breakers in some neighborhoods around Atlanta. How does a Gen2 Raptor handle those?

Stopped by the dealer this morning and my Raptor is due for delivery the week of April 9th.

I've been able to pull off 88mph through the Starbucks drive-thru.

The Starbucks employees haven't quite mastered getting my venti vanilla latte into the truck without spillage when I'm doing more than 40 mph past the window, though.

I barely feel the speedbumps when i make the run, so I think you'll be fine.

What speed bumps? Haven't notice them.

I slow down... no need to beat up the truck if I don't have to. Additionally, speed bumps tend to be in areas where I tend to drive slowly anyhow.

Now, rough railroad crossings, etc... I take those at speed.

When I see speed bumps, I mash the throttle and try to get air.

I'm in Atlanta and just got my build date of 4/9 with 5/1 delivery. I think the bigger issues are the potholes and idiots walking across roswell rd and buford hwy than the speed bumps.

Time has flown by and I have been around for more years than it feels like, but I have never heard the term "speed breaker". They are called "speed bumps" where I live, but "speed breaker" seems like a better way to articulate those annoying things that spill your drink of choice when you hit them.

Gen 1, but I have speed bumps in my new neighborhood. The faster I go, the softer they are! My other buddies with trucks always have their minds blown when they experience it.
