2021 Ford F-150 – damping force
How does continuously controlled damping work for the 2021 Ford F-150? A computer inside the truck analyzes data collected from several high-resolution sensors around the vehicle. These sensors tell the computer how the vehicle is moving, and in response, it can adjust the vehicle’s valves inside of its shocks. It does this in real-time as you drive, which means that you get the smoothest ride every time.
Potholes and gravel roads are no competition for continuously controlled damping forces. Your truck will respond to them by firming its dampers when a pothole is detected. Yes, the system will detect potholes as you go, giving you the best possible experience on all roads.
