those suspension travel numbers are for 35s.

The package with 37s is 13"/14" respectively.

My SVC mid-travel equipped truck cycles 17.5" front and 22" rear.

So, tell me...

13 = 17.5

and

14 = 22

right?

Not to mention, The shock package on a mid-travel truck DESTROYS what comes on a stock truck.


There is no electric takeoff function on the Gen3s either.


Also- anyone who seriously offroads will never leave a spare under the truck, so that's a moot point.


is the truck better stock for stock when compared to a Gen2, Sure!

Does a stock Gen3 compare, in any way, to a Gen2 on Midtravel suspension? absolutely not.

I mentioned in my post those numbers were for 35s and the travel was restricted for 37s. I also only said it APPROACHES svc mid travel numbers, not performance. And current svc mid travel is 16.5" not the 17.5" of your pre-production/modified kit has. I was also not comparing rear travel numbers. Some people also do not seriously offroad their truck as hard as you do and would possibly appreciate a full size spare under the truck. Different viewpoints and opinions can sway your view on the new gen 3. I appreciate your side of it coming from the pure offroad performance side of it. Thanks

Yes I am aware. I’ve been to some pretty remote places. Just wondering how this truck might evolve. Didnt mean to disturb the bee hive.
I don't think the Raptor will go hybrid, but I want it to. Would love it to be a v8 powerboost, but there's no talk of that yet. The regular f150 will be though.

I think everyone is underestimating the ecoboost. The 2021 compression ratio is up and tuned differently, it should have more torque and hp. I don't give a shit about a v8. My 2019 scab with cobb 93 octane tune ams boost tubes, mishimoto intercooler gets 0-60 in 4.4 seconds getting 16 mpg. That's fast enough.
