So I mailed with the internet sales manager that I would like to drive a RAM with and without the air suspension.
He said he has both in stock.
Today I showed up, drove the one without air suspension.
Then the sales guy tells me:
- the air suspension is not any smoother ride than without
- the air suspension doesn't lower all that much
- a truck bed cover saves you nothing on gas, because the truck is do aerodynamic
- he gets 20mpg in his V8 on the highway to Houston (speed 75mp/h)
Best thing he states that those that buy air ride don;t want any miles on the truck and that is why I can't test drive it.
So I left not very happy, the ride was nice. But the mpg was about 2mpg worse than my 2010 Avalanche.
The power (get-up-and-go) was not any better than my avalanche.
And the mirrors don;t tilit down when you put the truck in reverse.
