I've been reading about this for a few weeks now. I wonder how it will affect towing/ hauling ratings. May not affect it at all considering the low ratings already for the current leaf sprung rear... Should ride nicer. It'll be interesting to see about wheel travel as well.

Best picture I have seen.

I have a friend who knows an engineer on the Raptor group that confirmed the next gen will have a 5 link rear suspension with coil springs. The picture above is accurate and their test mule does have bags around the springs to hide them. Allegedly it will be a 2021 model.

I'll stick to my leaf springs. the panhard bar kills it for me. a parallel 4 link? barf.
great for rock crawling, but there is a reason that TTs use a 3 link wishbone. how freaking hard would it have been to use a better suspension design than dodge? I mean they even styled the freaking arms like fabricated canoe style links. hacks!

It could be a watts link and 3 bar system. Can tell from these photos.
Do you think 2021 will include a Raptor? Or will Ford wait a year and release a Raptor in 2022?

It is supposed to be on the 2021 Raptor.
