Over the last several months Ford has been rolling out a series of videos highlighting the upcoming 2017 Ford Raptor. The new truck is due this fall and Ford has been stirring the anticipation pot as much as possible.
This newest video demonstrates the Raptor’s 3.0-inch FOX shocks (the previous Raptor had 2.5-inch FOX shocks). According to a press release from Ford, the new setup makes for a more comfortable on-road ride thanks to a base valve piston that allows for lower gas pressures. Ford also states that the larger shocks dissipate heat faster and resist fade better due to their increased volume.
To improve off-road ability (as if it needed it), the 2017 Raptor receives almost two inches more suspension travel compared to the previous truck’s 11.2-inch front and 12.0-inch rear. Travel for front and rear is now 13.0 and 13.9 inches, respectively.
