To me the manufactures shoulds make them for us types and you types can raise them all you want or need. Much easier to raise.Lynnmor wrote:
In the case of Ford, they simply used a F150 body and jacked it up so that Super Duty guts would fit under it. Ain't it great that they now market a lesser truck for a whole lot more money? :(
The 2017+ Super Duty is a lot nicer than the previous gen truck that went almost 2 decades without any significant chassis upgrades. Complain about height all you want but be realistic.
More generally speaking, I do take my truck offroad and at times in deep snow. It makes for some work getting fifth wheels to match up properly, but I'm a fan of the height of the newer Rams and Fords. The perform better and look better as far as I'm concerned. The only negative I've run into is some anxiety in a few parking garages.
