Ride quality...get your thoughts?

[AZsurveyor]

Carli and Icon are both owned by the same parent company as of 2022, which is likely a part of why Icon makes their shocks now. https://www.randysworldwide.com/history

What used to be Randy's ring and pinion is now Randy's Worldwide - talk about growth and expanding the horizons!

Not interested in those so I have no clue who makes them. I stand by comment after many years with Icon suspension on two different Super Duty's and two different Toyota's. It's junk and I always advise against it, to each his own.

What took so long to figure out they were junk?

Anyone else care to share their thoughts? Anyone have a ‘23 king ranch or platinum gas V8? I heard someone recently say that if drive surprisingly enter than their ‘22. Just curious if anyone can confirm that.

You might call Cody at CJC in Long Beach CA - he has both

Coming from a Nissan Titan Gasser with 7yrs of 70,000mi to the '20 Tremor with now 42,000mi in 3yrs, I love the ride of the SD over the Titan (totally different leagues, I get it). The greatest improvement in ride quality is tire pressure. I run 55 Front / 65 rear when not towing and 60/80 when towing. We've done three long road trips (towing) Vegas to St. Anthony, ID, 720Mi, 11hr, three stops fuel only and don't feel the ride quality is bad at all. Even prefer the truck around town too over our VW CC (4-dr sedan). Wife complains she only has 24,000mi on her 2013 CC, guess we know which vehicle we like to take.

I have a 2021 TRX and 2024 F350 Tremor 6.7HO Platinum and the TRX rides outstanding as well as pulls a trailer great (5000lbs) but tbh the F350 rides really good being a true monster lol....I've been saying my TRX is the Quaterback and F350 is a Defensive Lineman using Football analogy..

Thanks. Still would love to get a trx…great looking truck! Just not sure how it would pull my boat.

No power or brake issue - just how much sag you have - depends on weight and tongue weight of boat on trailer! I prefer the Raptor R to the TRX - but both are awesome! Here are a couple of video to get a good comparison of the two towing. A little bit apples and oranges as one towed a jeep with all the weight on the trailer - the other a 5k trailer with a moto spare in bed - both had about 3" of squat. With WD hitch you can tow to the max with total comfort.

TRX Tow Test 5k - open trailer - 4 seat can am + moto and spare in the bed - total load about 7.2k

Thanks! Yeah, I definitely love both of them, but I really hate SAG look! And paying anywhere near 120 to 150,000 for a truck just seems a little ridiculous. I don’t mind spending a little extra for fun but when it’s 30 to 40,000 over my F250 tremor, I have to question, the ROI.
