We looked at and drove a Ford 550 yesterday. We are shopping for a truck for the 5th wheel we plan to purchase in a few months. The ride was very bumpy. I mean VERY bumpy. Until yesterday we hadn't driven anything larger than a F350. The salesman told us that this was the nature of the beast. This truck had airbags and I assume they had already put air in them. The salesman was not very knowledgable in that respect. For those of you that have experience with trucks - is this the nature of the beast?? Is there anything that can be added to help with this issue? Now please understand we didn't expect a smooth Cadillac ride but this was really a bit bumpy.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks
Mike
