Aloha. We've had our 2022 Ranger FX-4 crew cab for 60 days. Feels like the suspension loads and unloads when coming to a stop light/accelerating from the stop light respectively. Anyone else experience something similar? Thank you. Doug

I've noticed that too. We've had our Ranger since Sept 2019.

Most likely the slip yoke on the driveshaft needs more lube. The factory doesn't put on enough. Common problem.

- Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong. Plan for it as best you can.
I have not noticed that on my 2019. I have a bed cap and some gear loaded in the truck at all times. So. that may be why. Or, my slip yoke was better lubricated.
Thank you all.
Do you have a preferred lube recommendation? Thank you. Doug

People have commented on the FX4 suspension having a weird rebound since 2019.

- Its probably better to be self deprecating than self defecating.
Yeah tons of people hate the fx4 shocks. The general consensus is that theyre under dampened.. which would give a bouncy/boaty/wallowing feel.
I don't have the fx4, and have no complaints about my ride.
Good time to upgrade to some bilstiens

I can certainly see why. Thank you. Doug

White lithium. Ford actually has a kit with their own grease and a new boot.
Thank you. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. Doug
