[QUOTE="Matthew Meier, post: 1549540, member: 44676"] Hi all, New to me raptor owner here (2018 with 40k miles) and had a question about the drive quality you experience with yours. Took the truck for the test drive before I bought it and thought it rode great. Completed the purchase and headed home. After driving it for a few days though the novelty has worn off quickly. The ride quality does not seem that great, and when on the highway I'm feeling some vibrations in the steering wheel, accelerator pedal, and driver seat at speed - even when going slow around town. Compared to what I'm reading I thought the ride was supposed to be smooth. Took it to get road force balanced, aligned, and rotated the other day and that seemed to help a bit, but I think the (now rear) tires are already cupped and may need replacing. I'm wondering if I'm just too perceptive of the bumps? It feels like I'm going over gravel even on smooth pavement. There are long stretches of pavement on the highway that have regular grooves for each concrete patch and I can feel each one through the steering wheel. The larger bumps and ruts the truck handles like a champ, but the ride quality of vibrations into the cabin is not something I expected in a Raptor on all types of road. Is something wrong with mine or are yours similar? Do you feel the road through the steering wheel even on the highway? I've owned F150's before and never had a thought like I do now. I understand the cabin shaking, but my seat and steering wheel? Could this feeling of stiffness and feedback be indicative I need new shocks? Attaching a picture of my alignment as well. Any help or thoughts would be appreciated. Cheers, digitalarchitect [ATTACH=full]153764[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
