Will the ‘squatched Bronco ride be a smooth as a Raptor on-road?

[JakeLucas]

I know there’s no real way of knowing yet-but I was hoping that those that are well versed in such things might venture an educated guess.

I listen to Carcast podcast with Adam Corolla, Matt D'Andrea and Goldberg. Matt has spoken several times about how smoothly the Raptor rides on-road. I think my stock, company supplied, F150 rides okay but it is a bit too boat-like, especially loaded down.

I know they don’t share a platform but I just wonder if you guys think the nature of the suspension will be about the same or not.

I would absolutely think more F150ish than Taurus. It is still a 5000lb truck.

My Raptor rides fabulous. It has a longer wheel base and live valve shocks on the front that change in real time. The 2021 has a different suspension and will have live valve shocks on all 4 corners.

I hadn’t thought about it but maybe we’ll have to wait for the warthog to get a similar ride?

I’m guessing the new Raptor will ride as nice as the Bronco! I find it very interesting Ford moved to the 5 link on the Raptor.

Maybe check out the very recent videos and summarys of the ride alongs at KoH the past week.
Blasting across the desert at 70mph smooth as silk.....

KOH? I have‘t noticed any posts about that.

The desert floor and Freeway pavement is exactly the same.

My Raptors have been the best road trip vehicles I have owned. The ride is very quiet and extremely comfortable. That will be very difficult to replicate in a short wheelbase vehicle with a removable top.

Am I the only one that doesn't want the Bronco to ride like a car

Nope, I'm with you. Haven't figured why people are can it ride like a Cadillac or whatever. FOr God's sake you bought a 6000 lbs truck

funny having owned only jeeps and a V8 dakota, the dakota by far was the best ride. floated like a cadillac. I like play in the wheel and floating when i hit bumps over feeling every bump up through my hands and into my teeth. my current ride 2018 JLU is the best riding jeep i have owned in that way, pretty smooth on the bumps.

So we’re equating the Raptor to a Cadillac or whatever?

It's a truck not a car with these people I hope it has a really smooth ride
An Escalade has a great smooth ride JS

My 1977 F250 with E Load Rated Tires, I can feel every crack in the road when I'm not haling a load. Now put a ton of stuff in the bed, it'll ride as smooth as a Cadillac.

It is what it is and yes, I like for my truck to ride like a truck.
