Just to brighten your day up further, Ram is the only truck maker that makes a 2WD 3/4-1ton truck with SFA.

Correct, and I feel the hard ride In my F-250 with the FX4 is from the rear end more so than the front.

I don't have the same opinion or complaints about the ride of my 250 w/FX4, but I do agree that the rear rides stiffer than the front. IMO completely normal for an unladen truck, especially an HD truck.

At the rate this is going, we will soon have F350s that ride better than Buick Lesabre of the days past..

How harsh a ride is is an opinion, what I think rides harsh is going to be different than what someone else thinks. I have FX4 and camper package in my 22 250, keep my front tires at 55, rears 57-60 all the time, whether I'm towing or empty. It rides no worse than I'd expect a SD/HD truck to ride, its no caddy but its not near as bad as some believe their ride is in this thread.
