Does anyone notice the ride quality as being soft or bouncy. I have a 2013 Lariat w ecoboost and never changed anything on suspension and still rides firm and smooth after 140k miles. This Lariat ER seems to bounce a little more than I'm used to. I don't know if the setting for normal or sport mode is supposed to change firmness. I haven't noticed anything different from that aspect.

It is a bit bouncy on certain roads - I call it the "Cadillac ride". Anyone driving in the 80's or earlier will remember the feel. It doesn't bother me at all.

Felt the same about the ICE 2022 F150... more car-like than truck like in handling, steering response, etc. Not bad, just... different?!

Good comparison. It’s a bit “floaty” but overall a much smoother ride compared to my 2011 F150.

It is heavier, it is going to take the shocks a bit more to tame any bounce. Heavier duty after-market shocks will likely tame it, but could make the ride harsher.

Yea I would say it is bouncy but it doesn't bother me.

Anyone know how it rides on the road compared to a current Raptor?

The standard range does have a bounce to it too. Reminded me of my dad's early 90's Cadillac. The shocks need some tweaks on the return valving. Hopefully they fix that in the next gen.

I welcome this new Luxurious ride, my 2017 F350 is the extreme opposite! actually it is pretty good for 350 but I do lov my soft Tacoma this lightning is replacing.

i posted a thread on this previously. Very bouncy, with the worst part being the after shock bounces. Im looking forward to heavier duty aftermarket shocks when they become available.

I haven't read anywhere that states the different driving modes(normal, sport, off-road) on the truck do anything with suspension(so far Ford has been extremely vague with their OTA updates, ex. Ford Power-Up 3.4.0 simply said small changes here and there) but I do notice keeping the setting to sport mode does seem to improve on the ride smoothness or bounce. Does anyone know if they heard or read something about that setting.

The suspension is not electronically controlled in any way. The only way you adjust the suspension with software is to print out the code and stuff the paper into the coils. 😂
