The all-new 2024 Ford Ranger Raptor, is the most powerful and high-performance, off-road capable Ranger ever. It’s designed and engineered to take off-road capability to the next level among midsize trucks.
The heart of every Ford Raptor performance vehicle is the suspension. This new video gives an in-depth explanation of how Ranger Raptor’s class-exclusive 2.5-inch FOX Live Valve shocks work to help chase the horizon. It includes a cool x-ray view of how the internal bypass shocks actively manage damping across harsh terrain.
Ranger’s next-generation shocks are coil-overs at the front and piggyback reservoirs at the rear to reduce heat build-up for uninterrupted performance all day long.
The FOX Live Valve Internal Bypass system changes damping performance based on Ranger Raptor’s Drive Modes. The modes include Normal, Tow/Haul, Sport, Slippery, Off-Road, Rock Crawl, and Baja, all developed to provide better on-road comfort, off-road control, capability and ride quality at high and low speeds.
The front frame rails, front shock towers, rear shock brackets, suspension mounting points, and other key areas have all been specially reinforced, so Ranger Raptor can handle more punishing off-road conditions.

00:00 Ford Performance teamed up with Fox to level up the all-new Ranger Raptor with live valve technology.
00:07 The uniquely tuned Fox 2.5-inch diameter internal bypass semi-active shocks
00:13 change damping performance based on the Ranger Raptor's drive modes.
00:17 The four Fox live valve shocks are controlled individually by an ECU.
00:23 Various sensors monitor terrain conditions for each wheel hundreds of times a second
00:29 to rapidly adjust the suspension.
00:31 The Ranger-specific algorithm adapts to your driving style
00:35 through inertial, steering, braking, and acceleration input.
00:39 Fox's patented internal bypass design allows for multiple zones of damping control.
00:45 Shock fluid bypasses the main piston through a series of bleed holes in the ride zone to increase comfort.
00:52 As the shock compresses past the ride zone,
00:55 the bleed holes terminate, forcing fluid through the main piston.
00:59 The damping force increases progressively to control hard bottom outs.
01:04 When the shock rebounds past the ride zone, the bleed holes again terminate.
01:09 The increased damping force prevents harsh top outs and an initial catch for landing.
01:16 Fox's internal bypass damping combined with live valve technology deliver race-level performance.
