2010 Raptor: Part 2

Ford F-150 SVT Raptor 1st drive review

While the frame and suspension hardware allow the truck to survive a grueling blast across the desert, what about the fate of those strapped inside?

 


Rotated rear shock

 Ford teamed with Fox Racing Shox to develop a remote reservoir oil shock for the rear and an internal triple bypass coilover for the front. The triple bypass function allows the shock to get progressively stiffer as the suspension moves through its full 11.2 inches of travel so that it never bottoms out harshly. Even if you did bottom out the suspension, soft, closed-cell bumpstops act like progressive air bump stops for the last few inches of travel.
