I have a new body style 07' Chevrolet regular cab short bed 4x4 with the Z71 suspension. I also have my 06' F-150 extended cab 4x4 truck as well. Honestly, the Ford has a better ride over rougher streets, except for the vibration in the steering wheel. The Chevy is a lot shorter wheelbase as well, which hurts it in comparison to a longer wheelbase truck. The Chevy has a LOT tighter suspension than my F-150 as well. They are two different trucks, but the F-150 has the smoother ride on the rougher streets. I just wish the dealer would get rid of the horrible vibration in the steering wheel.
