[QUOTE="kandewinn, post: 1644805, member: 23041"] I think you hit the nail on the head...not sure I can give you the answer you're looking for, because mine did not have the Live Valves...My Gen 2 was jittery going over potholes during normal driving (as compared to my Gen 1 Raptor). I compensated by airing down the tires. But because of the light weight, and the suspension, it never really went away. When you read posts where people say that the Raptor is Nimble as compared to the TRX, that's a very accurate description. My initial impression of the TRX was, wow this thing feels heavy. I realized that some of that was because the steering was set to sport mode, which has a heavy feel as compared to the normal setting. The TRX is very much like the Raptor in this next regard, the faster you drive it, the smoother it is. You do feel bumps at slower speeds. But, the TRX is not jittery like my Raptor was. And 5600 miles into the TRX, I am used to the ride and feel of the truck. The two are very different. You will not feel like you're driving a higher HP Raptor. They are not the same. But neither is bad. Just do not expect it to feel like a Raptor is all I'm attempting to convey. And, fuel economy=atrocious. I don't mind it, my Gen 1 was bad too, but be prepared for it. I find myself between 10-12mpg. If you are really heavy footed, expect 8-9mpg. With all that said...I still like the TRX. My Gen 1 has been my favorite truck over the past 35 years of driving. Will I say the same about the TRX, time will tell. It has to prove itself in Reliability like my Gen 1 did. [/QUOTE]
