2022 Raptor on my 6th day. Gets clunkier every time.

[MyLord]

Took delivery 6 days ago. Traded it a 2019 Toyota Landcruiser.

Some things I love:
1. I love the new infotainment and tech that it has.
2. Visibility during the day and night
3. Steering and handling (for a truck)
4. Heated steering wheel and side view mirrors (sorry I had to)
5. Brake hold when at lights

Things that need to improve:
1. You can tell the seats will be an issue on road trips. (A lot less cushion compared to ^).
2. The vibrations and rattling when hitting bumps comes from the steering wheel to the floor board and everything in between. Feels like a RZR.
3. Every time I drive it I feel it gets clunkier.

Am I alone with the vibrations and rattling? I’ve been driving it in normal mode settings but thought a Baja vehicle would glide through bumps and pot holes.

That's your problem. Keep it in Normal or Sport mode. Baja mode is meant only for off road and WILL NOT be better than Normal on road. Also, I don't see how the seats aren't good, we love them on our Gen 2 and all the Gen 3s we've sat in have felt equally as comfortable. Did you play with the adjustments? What do you define as clunky?

Is it a 37 or 35 truck? Might be worth checking tire pressures too.

This.

Compared to my LC, seats are a lot stiffer. The Lc were like lazy boys.
I haven’t had much seat time. Maybe 300 miles. Will keep messing around a bit.
Clunky to me is vibrations and rattles that feel worse from day 1.

35 Truck. The tires are all at 43. Maybe take them down to 40?

The faster you go, the better it feels. And, your tire pressure is probably too high. I've not experienced any of what you are talking about. For the "clunking" to be getting worse every day for 6 days, you might want to have that checked out. Not normal.

I'd go to 38. If I remember correctly, that is the recommended pressure. Check your door

34 front, 32 rear.

You definitely need to keep it in Normal or Sport. It'll be so much better.
