Rough Ride
Have had my truck for three weeks. Only complaint is the rough ride. You feel every bump......
I haven't had a 3/4 ton since my dad's 1952 International, but I don't remember it riding that rough.
Is the suspension that stiff?
Thanks

Well, it is a Super Duty. The ride is better than the leaf spring fronts. Heavier springs, 4wd and high tire pressures all add to the roughness. My truck delivered with 70 psi in the tires. I run 50 and the ride is not bad at all. It is a truck.

Ahhh, you updated your sig and I see you have an '05. Sorry I won't be much help with those since I haven't been in one yet...
Anyone want to let me drive their '05? Just promise not to look at the rear tires when I'm done

Good comfortable Ride
My new2005 F-250 Reg.Cab 2 wheel drive, long box, 415 cu.in engine, rides very nice. Compares very well and better on some surfaces then my 2000 Dodge Caravan.
My old truck was a '86 Chevy 1/2 ton 4x4 now that was a rough riding machine.
