My perception of rides comes from my existing two vehicles - 2013 Jeep Wrangler, 2021 RAM 1500. The Jeep is what you would expect it to be - a marginal ride. The RAM is surprisingly an excellent ride.
Congrats on delivery! Outside of ride, would you say the spring rate or dampers feel different from the Premium? Does it handle better and/or is rebound dampening adequate where you don't feel it's overly bouncy after hitting a bump?
Thanks. To be honest both of those feelings (spring rate/dampers) are beyond my knowledge and ability to form a comparative opinion.
I had heard this before but it was typically attributed to the excessively large section front tires, not the suspension. Has that viewpoint changed? Or is the author just not understanding the concept of tramlining?
It does! I don't like soft and cushy so sounds like this is a win.
That excerpt from the autoblog article just reinforces the mission of the Mach 1. It. Is. A. Track. Monster. Ford even stated that it is practically as dedicated to track performance as the GT350 is/was. It has suspension and cooling from the 350 and 500 and it is rolling on steamroller Sport Cup 2 track ready tires. 305s up front for goodness sake. At least on the Handling Pack option. To complain about tramlining on road imperfections is just ridiculous given the car’s mission.
The Premium 4X rides pretty well over rough city streets. Not as comfy as some but certainly not as stiff and chattery as a Tesla Model Y. I'm hoping the GT is not any worse than the Model Y. Have you driven a MY and if so, can you make any sort of comparison?
I was hoping the magneride had separate controls from the driving modes.
