I have 2 crew cab dually diesels ( 2012 Ram & 2012 Silverado).
I would like to downsize to a super cab with the short bed and gas motor.
I was looking for a Lariat, but drove an XLT today.
Great looking truck, a lot of features for the money, power felt fine, nice tight turning radius, but......
The truck seemed to wander a little bit when just driving straight and it did seem like it took forever to turn the wheel when whipping it around in a parking lot.
I'm going to try one more before I look at the new GM. I want to like it, but not sure.
Any other thoughts on first drives?

before writing off the blue oval you might just wanna drive a 2017 SuperDuty that has the adaptive steering option. good luck

 

Is that standard on Lariat's?

 

No, it's a stand alone option that's also included in the tow technology package. As to first drives, the SRW I drove felt almost exactly like my 12 but with a much better ride. The steering may be a touch heavier as other threads have mentioned but I really didn't give it a thought until I read it here. It's that insignificant in my opinion.
