marksboss Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Just curious as I haven't seen this mentioned elsewhere. Is there a plan to incorporate the 5 link rear suspension design from the 2021 Raptor to the rest of the F150 lineup? (or all F series). It seems to be an expensive piece to develop for just one model. Or, is this design too expensive for the average F150? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvrsvt Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 I believe the Lighting gets it also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanh Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 I would say it all depends on how it effects towing....and I mean 12000 pounds and up... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captainp4 Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 All for link suspension for off-road oriented vehicles (building it for my 78 Bronco trail rig right now), but I don't think it's the way to go with something that is supposed to tow. Also, could be mistaken, but I believe Lightning gets independent rear suspension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lightning is getting a control-blade looking IRS. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would expect it to show up on the top trim levels (limited and maybe platinum) similar to how the 3.5L HO ecoboost ended up in the limited.
