Most comfortable riding
Which truck is the most comfortable when loaded with a heavy camper?
Forum Discussion
Been years since I had a Dodge, but on my Fords:
The 2015 is better in every way than the 1999 - except the ride. The ride was about the same loaded, a bit worse unloaded. I assume because of the 14,000 GVWR springs vs. 11,500. The trucks were DRW F350 identical in every way except year.
I had air bags on the 1999 to get it closer to level with the camper loaded. On the 2015 I converted to full air ride in the back. The improvement was quite marked, both empty but especially with the camper loaded. It cost around $4K, but there is no way I would want to go back. The truck is all around better, less sway, slightly less vibration and noise. I do not regret the money spent at all. This winter I plan to build front air suspension for it, as the front end now feels harsh by comparison. It doesn't ride like a Cadillac, but it is half way there.
