Watch our deep dive into the suspension of Ford's 700-hp mega truck and see how it compares to the Ram 1500 TRX.
As it turns out, the additional weight didn't require comprehensive changes to the design of the suspension. The front spring rates are stiffer, but fundamentally the suspension package is the same as other Raptors. We also see the weight for the mounted 37-inch wheels.
In the rear, Edmunds explains the benefits of the Raptor's independent suspension and its inverted shocks. We learn how the active Fox Live Valve Shocks work, and we see how the middle of the Panhard rod has been flattened to make room for the 37-inch spare tire. The RTI test highlights the Raptor R's 33.1-degree approach angle. But you might be surprised to see that the Raptor R has a lower score than not only the Ram 1500 TRX, but also every other Raptor variant. What gives? Watch to learn.
