MORryde

What MORryde does

MORryde is a privately held U.S. manufacturer of suspension systems, chassis components, and RV/Jeep aftermarket accessories, headquartered in Elkhart, Indiana. The company's flagship offering is a family of patented independent suspension systems (I.S., RL, RS, RSX, BRSC) augmented by the Air1 and Air2 air-suspension lines, the latter featuring wireless pressure control via mobile app and integrated auto/manual leveling for tongue jacks and stabilizers. Adjacent hardware includes Kodiak disc-brake upgrades, sliding cargo and utility trays, TV mounts, steps, safety rails, and a dedicated custom-fabrication division (morrydefab.com) producing OEM-matching components such as trusses, subfloors, slideouts, and battery/generator trays. The company also performs chassis modification services — wheelbase alterations, frame extensions, driveline modifications, low-floor upfitting, and front-wheel-drive conversions — under NHTSA intermediate-stage manufacturer registration and Ford QVM (Q14, Q18, Q40, Q140) compliance.

MORryde operates three revenue streams: (1) OEM supply to RV and transit-bus manufacturers, with documented presence in the transit-bus segment since 1992; (2) chassis modification services for manufacturers across five U.S. states; and (3) RV and Jeep/Bronco aftermarket sales through a nationwide dealer network plus a direct e-commerce storefront (shopmorryde.com). Pricing is not publicly disclosed; chassis-modification and custom-fabrication quotes are handled via direct consultation ([email protected]), while consumer products route through dealer and online channels. Go-to-market mixes channel-partner distribution, OEM-embedded supply, and self-serve e-commerce.

The business is anchored by over 50 years of suspension engineering expertise, ISO 9001 quality certification, NTEA membership, and adherence to Dana Spicer driveline guidelines. Product development leverages in-house 3D modeling and Finite Element Analysis (FEA). The company markets through Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, and Instagram, supported by downloadable product catalogs, a video gallery, and an e-newsletter; brand community is reinforced through the "Raving Fans" program. Ownership appears founder/family-controlled with no disclosed external investors, subsidiaries, or M&A activity.
