Almost 7k miles on my Ranger Raptor so a fairly big sample size. Cant help but feel like some days the ride quality is very smooth and some days can be pretty rough. I drive the same routes almost daily and can easily feel the differences even taking in account obviously differing ambient temps and small tire pressure differences but it really feels like the FOX live valves aren’t working properly sometimes or take a while to update. Some days can even notice it will be rough driving somewhere, car is off for couple hours, then drive home will be much smoother. Curious if anyone else has similar experience or I’m just going crazy 😂

I've noticed this too. Not sure what the deal is...weather is pretty consistent here in SoCal. Have almost the exact same mileage too, ~7300.

I'm at 10k miles and feel like the ride quality has never been as smooth as I thought it would be. I guess i was expecting l "Cadillac " smoothness as noted by a lot of reviews on the older F-150 raptors. Maybe someone with experience with both trucks can give feedback?

It's not going to be as "floaty" as the F-150s.

I'd say it's pretty well balanced. Not the same level of comfort on the street as my Volvo with air suspension, but overall I've been pleased with it.

To be clear, I've got no issue with the overall ride quality...it's just inconsistent.

I'm no expert so can't really use technical terms, but feels like maybe like the computer is setting a zero at different points on different days?

🤷

Yeah I wonder if there’s a way for dealer to reset the computer for the FOXs or something. I’ve thought about unplugging them but scared to mess with it lol
