Episode notes
Raptor's Heavier Duty Chassis And Suspension
- The Bronco Raptor uses extensive structural and suspension upgrades versus regular Broncos, making it much stiffer and more capable.
- Ford added boxed frame sections, cross members, widened track, and heavy-duty suspension to handle high-speed off-road demands.
Substantial Wheel Travel For High-Speed Terrain
- The Raptor's Fox Live Valve 3.1 dampers and external reservoirs deliver about 13 inches front and 14 inches rear wheel travel.
- That travel increases over Sasquatch-spec Broncos by several inches, translating to a much more capable high-speed off-road ride.
Truck-Like Stance With Extra Ground Clearance
- The Raptor matches F-150 width and approaches similar overall height while retaining higher ground clearance than Sasquatch Broncos.
- Wider track and about 13.1 inches ground clearance give it a hefty stance and improved off-road geometry.
