[QUOTE="Idaho Savage, post: 1772265, member: 58380"] Folks want their Raptors to be their Suburbans. I swear Ford does themselves more harm than good by attempting to go all in on Baja DNA. The reason these trucks can comfortably do 90mph+ on unmaintained BLM roads right off the lot is because of components like that soft rear coil suspension. Thanks to all the marketing, mall crawling, bro-downs and insta posing, people actually complete the research and buying process without truly considering the [B]consequences[/B] of the only thing that makes these trucks unique: They are actual, legitimate, race-ready pickups that were purpose-built for speed off pavement. They are NOT trucks that were engineered and equipped to just look cool, a la Chevy or even Tremor, without meaningful differences to their design and components. Sure they have tons of amenities and are have beautiful lines but what makes them actually different than the High Country, Tremor or Ram is their suspension. If you want a truck to haul loads and stay level, buy an F150. If you're towing more than 10k, buy an F250. But buying a truck that is about as close to a race truck as a stock, street legal rig can be and complaining about the soft suspension, poor gas mileage, lack of bed length, etc doesn't make sense--you bought a $75k race oriented truck.
