Ford F-150 Raptor 2019 automatic

Essentially cruise control for off-roading, it allows you to set an extremely low crawl speed and have the computer work the gas and brakes while you focus on your line and the obstacles around you.It starts with Fox Live Valve electronically controlled shock absorbers, the first for a production off-roader. Fox places a solenoid on the shock body connected to a valve, which it can adjust in as little as 40 milliseconds to alter the rate at which oil passes through it. Wide open, the shocks are soft. The more it's closed, the stiffer the shocks get. Ford suspension engineers say the midway point between full soft and full hard is about where the 2018 model's fixed dampers match up.

As a baseline, the shocks have three modes: normal, sport, and off-road, which covers the litany of off-road driving modes. It's not an if-then system, though. The controller, Lincoln's CCD adaptive damping unit reprogrammed by Ford Performance, constantly watches how you drive, tries to predict the surface you're on, and adjusts the damping to compensate. For example, if you're in an off-road mode and you're heavy on the throttle, the shocks will soften up a bit for when you inevitably hit a big bump at a higher speed than you might've intended to. Conversely, when the ride height sensors detect the truck is airborne, as Raptors are wont to be, the shocks stiffen to better absorb the landing.
