He probably has already been kicked off the Ram forum, so he comes here.

Man RAM ruined the look of their truck. The 2009-2017ish were great looking. Also they drive like a passenger car and break like one offroading too. If you do any serious work/offorading one buys a FORD.

If you are buying a Raptor to enjoy the freeway ride, then you don't deserve a Raptor.

If you do any serious work/offroading...

traded in my F150 Lariat & S550 for the Raptor, I had read reviews on how smooth the raptor is on the road but I found that to be totally opposite. Even on a smooth road the steering wheel seems to shake/vibrate slightly. I've already lowered the tire pressure to 37 psi and gonna have the wheels/tire checked for any balancing issues tomorrow. Also The transmission shift a bit harsh thou I don't mind it, feels like the older F1 transmissions. Despite all that I think i might actually keep this car for a while as it is just so damn good looking; see you all on the road!

I traded a CLS 400 for my Raptor. If you give it some time I think you’ll like it. Like the Mercedes, the transmission learns and adjusts to your driving. It was rough at first, after 1,000 miles it’s a lot better. It is a wide beast, turning off the lane keeping functions can help. There are three different steering settings, set it to the one you like. Set the driving mode to comfort, not sport. Use premium fuel. My tires are @38 psi like the door sticker suggests. Share your experiences with forum members. Ask questions after trying the search function. Welcome to the community.
