Driving It Home
King noticed immediately the difference in the quality of the ride. And the more he drives his F350, the more he loves it.
“Now that it’s all done and I’ve had time to daily drive the Carli F-350, I prefer it over my Raptor,” he explained. “The suspension is perfect. Plush and bottomless like the Raptor, but with a little more composed firmness.”
King said he can drive the Carli F350 at 90 mph all day with complete confidence. “The steering is tight. The brakes are great. The power is awesome,” he explained. “It tows my 36-foot sled trailer like it’s not even there.”
King said that although it has a great highway ride, off-road, it is an animal. “The suspension soaks up the chop of dirt roads with ease, making the ride smooth and composed,” he explained. “I am amazed at how fast you can drive off-road with this suspension. Why slow down when crossing ramped train tracks when you can keep your speed and hopefully catch a little air?”
The Carli F-350 also features 3.55 gears, Ford’s adaptive steering, adaptive cruise control, and all other available options in 2019.
So just as the Raptor managed to push his Ram to the curb, what has become of the Raptor now that the Carli F-350 has moved in? “I have given the Raptor to my wife,” he confessed.
