I am happy as a lark with my 04 Lariat Scab, Toreadore Red, and I am just as happy with this forum for giving me a clue to what I thought might be a problem. During my first week driving this beauty, I felt the bumps more than I did in my 99 F-150.

When I read the post that a lot of you were getting your trucks with too much air in the tires, I checked. Sure enough. I had about 45 lbs in each tire. I lowered it to 35 and the ride smoothed out beautifully.

Thanks, guys, that really helped. New owners should make that one of their first checks.

 

NO.


New vehicle prep. should do this.It is on the prep.form.

Dealers are we listening.

Thanks for posting.

TruBluScru and others, are you reading this.
There really was no need for flaming me in the bumpy ride quality thread.
FYI

 

Flaming?

All I said was:

Which is what I say to everybody that complains about plastic interiors, no side airbags, poor power, and bad ride quality. I've also said on a number of occasions that the first thing you should do when you get a new car is get the tires balanced and the alignment checked. I'll add checking your tire pressure to the list I guess. When you posted saying you didn't like the F150, I was assuming that the truck was in good working order. I don't check the tire pressure before I test drive a truck, so I can see why you may have thought the truck rode bumpy. Anyway, you didn't get flamed, people disagreed with you, so don't be so sensitive.
