Could your issue been tire size, my Lariat with 18" wheels rides twice as well as my wife's 2014 Patriot Latitude. Handles like a dream and corners a bit too well (catch a curb now and then).
My truck did it once, took it to the dealer they found no codes. I have updated with a thumb drive formatted to "exFat" and now have Sync3.3 build 19052 (i believe the build number is correct) and no issues. Go to the owner pages and follow the instructions on updating Sync.
I get around 19.5 after 600 miles. But ... and this is a big one, I have found I can't drive this truck like I did my 2005 3.0L Ranger.It's throttle is touchy, Compare it to the old 4 barrel carbs, keep the back two closed using only the front two and you got good gas mileage, open all four...
I started driving mine like my 2005 Ranger 3.0L, watched the tach climb over 3K, realized the pedal is very touchy. Gonna try and see if a lighter foot improves mileage. Yet I still know what happens if I goose it a little. Seems I need to learn to keep it under 2500 RPM.
Guys,
thanks for the thoughts, My only fears are what happens when I pull a boat trailer with the truck. How will it handle the tongue weight if it's lower 2" in the rear?
I am curious, can you lower the rear to level the truck? Wife is short 4'10" and I don't want to raise the ride height, but I'd like to see the truck level. Thoughts on how to do it.
I seem to have the only Lariat Super Cab in existence right now. Other than the Super Crew sitting at my dealer, I haven't seen one in Lake or Cuyahoga counties in Northern Ohio.
Gentlemen, I put TVD decals shiny black on my Lightning Blue SC at the dealer when I picked it up. (temp needs to be 60-80 and no way in Cleveland right now). You need alcohol, towel and water in spray bottle to put on wet. One inch wide squeegee helps. It took me 20 minutes. Result is posted in...
Driver side has scissors jack in it, you can probably stuff gloves or a couple of flares, passenger side is same size and has room for my hitch and ball and pin. Probably can put some rags in also.
