would you give up your smoother riding IFS if ford offered a solid axel f150?
i'm sure this will not happen but i wanted to know how many people prefer comfort over strength.

 

I have an expedition but pretty much same idea. I think it would simplify a lot of things. And make certain repairs cheaper while being stronger

 

why wouldnt a SFA ride good? Jeep has been doing it for decades.

but yes, i would trade for the solid axle

 

Me too you can get a cheaper lift kit then and I would have lifted it by now haha

 

Probably not.. Just think about how jeeps ride

 

in a New York minute. Solid axle any day.

 

very well actually.

A solid axle can ride very well if set up properly and they are stupid simple to work on but every nancy w/ their coffee and office job want a truck where their 95 year old grand ma can ride in and not complain

 

my friends jeep grand cherokee rides better than my truck did stock.

 

I probably would too. Its what almost persuaded me to buy a 250.

 

I know I would. Not only are they easier to work on but IMO they look cooler

 

I would buy one without a second thought.

 

solid axle ride is equally as good, many would argue its better, esspecially a good coil sprung one, like superflex coils. And since this is in the offroad section, solid axles kick *** off road, im putting stuff together to swap a solid d44 under my 93 f150, if someone offered I'd trade out both my trucks for 2 solid axled ones

 

definately! look cooler for sure, stronger and simpler, win win if you ask me

 

who can we send this thread to at ford so they will listen?

 

bud i doubt ford would give a second thought on half of us motor junkies! they may make it an option, but look back. The last solid axle f-150 was i do believe the 79's up until they did the twin I-beam in i think 82. (twin i-beam) was essentially the first generation of IFS) i dont think we will get a solid front axle option in. Look a what city boys who buy a truck too look big and bad in and not know what an axle is, then the people who actually use the half ton pickup and need a SFA. Today the world is driven by supply and demand, and i don't see a demand for a SFA 1/2 ton.
