very. that's a massive program. all new everything. the chassis is a significant load bearing member rand takes a lot of the crash load. the body itself is a bit flimsy and would need significant upgrades to be strong enough on its own.
the payload and towing largely determine the rear leaf springs, and they in turn really define the ride and handling. Note how much lower Raptor payload and towing is with coils. Truck performance comes with compromises.
