I just love the ride quality of this truck. In fact, I love a lot of things about it.
That is all! :)

Hard to believe it's a truck....a truck that is quieter than my 2016 Fusion trade-in. I'm still not used to knowing my speed by listening to the engine and road noise...I keep wanting to go faster because it's so damn quiet. I love this truck.

No kidding. This truck rides so smooth that every time I look down I'm going faster than I should. Lucky for me everyone here drives like they're on fire so now I fit rite in!

I love mine too. Have to agree about driving faster than you think. Iā€™ve gotten my first speeding ticket in about 35years, Iā€™ve just had major back surgery which means I canā€™t drive for a while. Canā€™t wait to get back behind the wheel

My one complaint on the truck's ride is that the suspension seems very active. It's a smooth ride on the highway and whatnot, but it's very bouncy around town going over (non-symmetrical) undulations in the road.

I agree. If the road is very smooth, so is the ride. If not, the truck bounce a LOT and wanders quite a bit. Especially at freeway speed.

My truck did come with over-inflated tires (45 psi) but lowering to correct value did not help. Even lowering to 32 psi showed no improvement. I am getting used to it but I donā€™t like it.
I donā€™t know if changing to weaker springs or shocks would help or not, but donā€™t like the idea of going through that trouble and expense just to ā€˜tryā€™ to see if it helps.

I agree. Before ordering one, I test drove all the midsize trucks except the Gladiator, which wasn't available and wasn't something I was considering anyway, and I read a lot of reviews. Many of the reviewers complained about the ride, especially with the fx4 package, so I paid special attention to it during several test drives and couldn't figure out what they were talking about, it rides just fine. It doesn't ride like a crossover, but it isn't one.

my ranger drives much better than my 2014 F-150 ever did. or my 2018 jeep for that matter.

no complaints at all. 30lbs PSI on the door jam. I am at 31/32 cold. very happy with the ride.

not sure what others are experiencing, but love the Ranger and ride is awesome.
