TheStraightPipes much excite

[@TheStraightPipes]

+SMGMP7A1 we knew that so we saved it for you

[@noseefood1943]

suspensions are the most under appreciated hard working car components.

[@grievancetakashil1772]

Noseefood suspension keeps the frame in one piece

[@stereolababy]

the body mount is getting a workout

[@TheStraightPipes]

+wastegate yeah that one is so much fun to watch

[@kevinthomson6324]

All this time I've never known the raptor has leaf springs in the rear. Have to say that surprises me

[@TheStraightPipes]

+Kevin Thomson haha glad you learned something

[@RobertWojtow]

Yep. I was just under my 2013 replacing the brake lines with S.S. and noticed the same. Was quite shocked....

[@hochhaul]

Leaf spring suspensions are hard to beat for pickup truck duty..

[@eriktenhag2022]

@@hochhaul what's wrong with a multilink setup for a truck? Can it not handle the load as good as leaf springs?

[@Kyxmyx]

@@eriktenhag2022 of course 😂

[@rye_too_quick]

Makes me happy so see you beat on it how it’s meant to be

[@GRfourfun]

Love the drift at the beginning!

[@TheStraightPipes]

Plenty more in the full review :)

[@GRfourfun]

TheStraightPipes I look forward to it! 👍🏻

[@DriveAndBeDriven]

Wow! Neat video, guys! The Raptor sure seems to be a true beast, and the suspension travel was soo awesome to watch! Keep it up guys! I cannot wait for the full review. 👊🏽

[@roberthillsjr.3729]

The 3.5 turbo engine sounds like hell. Bad sound. Love the V 8's

[@NeutralGenericUser]

Such a cool idea for a video!

[@scdevon]

Horse and Buggy rear suspension LOL. Good photography!

[@motormusique]

You guys know the way to the heart of gearheads

+motomusiq thanks

[@Ms89giogio]

Uuopppp amazing video

[@luispadilla2212]

A powerful off road truck on grass??Amazing.

[@Benthemister]

Sending this to the raptor group

[@TheStraightPipes]

+Coldsleeper101 right on!

[@Gamerz00760]

Looks solid for such a test... ready for potholes and railroad tracks full speed looks like.
Im guessing this test is no where near challenging that engine despite terrain, speed, and weight of the truck. The exhaust would sound better if you could run it full throttle, that 10 speed makes that about impossible along with torque at low RPMs.
Exhaust sounds awesome otherwise, just gotta keep it from shifting, I always hear my turbos on my 2.7l, not the exhaust.

[@brucec43]

I'm sure the 1.7% of owners who actually take them on more than a gravel road will appreciate this.

[@skyscall]

The other 98.3% will probably be flooring it the next time they see a speed bump

[@deepakingavale4786]

Scorpio have such a best suspension.

[@seabass9916]

That oversteer though

[@dannylewandowski2822]

Aren’t you supposed to drive a little slower off road, drive fast over bumps and terrain and then whine about it after their tie rod goes out. Fords have pretty awesome suspensions, my 98 pickup has no creaks and the only thing I’ve replaced on the suspension are the struts, idler arm, and sway bar end links. 170k miles. Go to a new 2015 Jeep Patriot (crappy Chrysler parts) and you’ll find yourself replacing the inner tie rods after 35k miles (personal experience).

[@jakeherington7237]

Danny Lewandowski You can’t compare a soccer mom car to a pickup truck.

What type of suspension is I'm looking at.

[@juliustornabene7103]

The new raptors sound like a long fart... POS...

[@MindzEnt]

Cheap junk looks like it’s about to fall apart.

[@josephmayo]

M.A. M.R. Yeah ok buddy

[@Blue_Flame_Raptor]

Lol sure, the suspension on raptors cost more than your honda

[@keke158]

@@Blue_Flame_Raptor yea it cost more but the honda is more vulnerable I would rather take a honda over susp

That thing sounds like SHIT!!!
