2009 Ride Quality?
I just got a 2009 AWD 3.0 Limited and the ride seems a bit rough/stiff.
What tire pressure do you recommend? The door panel says 32 but maybe a little less would soften up the ride a little?
The roads here are not the best (they actually are pretty bad) but my other truck (F-250) seems to ride a lot better?

Some find the ride a bit stiff, my dad does in his 09 Mariner but his previous car was a Town Car. Your F-250 has over 6000 lbs. of mass to absorb road imperfections compared to 3500 in the Escape. I have an 09 Escape and I think the ride is fine but on rough roads you do notice. I think it is because the suspension is designed for towing up to 3500 lbs. I wonder if the 4 cyl rides better but I love the V6 in the 09.
