The only time I feel any type of hard ride is empty, but it is not annoying just a truck...One fun thing I found being empty and having a little fun is how quick my truck is with the chip set up I have. Those guys in the rice burners that rev to 100K (exageration)...coming off the line and passing amazing to see the look on their faces....don't get to do that very often as the TC resides 98% of the time on the truck....and that is with dual 19.5's...even broke them free once...that was fun...must have been some sand or damp pavement. :>)
