As I’ve noted ad nauseam, I’m not the sharpest tool in the shed when it comes to all things mechanical.
So here’s my question re trucks:
If trucks are built on a solid steel frame, unlike a car’s unibody structure, and especially the Raptor with its strengthened frame, then why is there body flex and shake/shimmy over bumps?
I‘m not complaining, mind you, as I think my Raptor is a perfect long haul cruiser. I just don’t understand why, more so in the Gen2 with leafs, it would feel like the cab and the bed were two different pieces.
After all, isn’t the bed itself basically a lightweight shell sitting on top of the same frame?
Is my question off base and it’s really more suspension related that makes trucks in general feel that way?
I await my education And ty in advance. Kinda like when you get up in the morning and for sh*ts and giggles apologize to your wife for the rest of the day should you f up. Lol.
