Okay. Its a huge Gear Grinder for me, I have a lot of problems with modern trucks but I'll chime in on this one.
I have driven one of those F150 Raptors and the suspension on those bastards is tuned SO TIGHT you feel every tiny little bump in your teeth.
Its insane. A tiny little curb at anything remotely resembling speed will send everything in your cab into the air. It literally feels like you've been in an accident or hit a wall. Who wants this??
Similarly, my sister got a new Jeep Wrangler...I dont know what they're thinking. Huge knobby off-road tires, tight, tight suspension, you can feel every bump and crack in the road. Who in their right mind wants that for a daily-driver?
We had to swap cars for a weekend and she hands my car back to me:
"Its so smooth and soft, its great!"
Yeah. Because its a normal SUV. Whereas myself:
"Take it back. I thought I was going to get a concussion going down Glenmore and I may or may not have lost a tooth. The jury is still out."
My daily-driver shouldnt be some goddamned Carnival Ride.
