Steering/Ride Quality of Big Three HD trucks
I have had two Ford diesels- an 05 with the famous death wobble. I then went half ton for awhile but then got a '13 Powerstroke. The steering wheel would still move with every imperfection in the road...

I would have to give the nod to the Chevy IFS for having the minimum bump steer. I would say the Chevy HD IFS is comparable a half ton in terms of bump steer.
Both the Ford and Dodge have a steering stabilizer on the front suspension for a reason.
To resolve the Bump Steer this issue with a Ford or Dudge you'll have to add a after market dual steering stabilizers and will perform much better.
I would also give the nod to the pre '14 Dudge with having the harshest ride. Now that they have the copy and past Ford large swing are front suspension and coil springs on the rear I'm sure the ride quality has improved. I've yet to read of any reviews on the new rear coil suspension setup. :h
