Sorry to revive an old thread, but I thought it was pertinent to add to this one instead of starting a new one.
A little background, I own a 2016 1500 QC, Big Horn, V6 Pentastar, 3.55, 20" wheels. Of course, after I purchased the truck my wife got the brilliant idea of getting back into RV life. We had a 3800lb travel trailer that pulled great behind my truck. I purposely left a lot of buffer to allow for carrying a street motorcycle in the bed when towing the trailer. We sold the trailer and will be going to something a little heavier, as such I'm looking at a new RAM 1500 or 2500. Today we drove a 2020 1500 Laramie, Crew, 3.92 Ecodiesel, 5'7" bed with 22" wheels. We were more than a little disappointed in the ride. To the point I'm thinking I'd rather go with a 2500 Laramie, gas instead. We didn't realize we were riding on 22's until after the test ride and I'm now wondering if the 22's made the ride THAT MUCH harder. It's a very smooth ride on smooth surfaces but once the road gets even a little choppy the truck hits very hard as opposed to being controlled and soaking up the surface irregularities.
Just so we're clear, I love the way my 2016 rides and it's the primary reason I bought it. I'll definitely be doing a test ride in a Laramie 1500 with 20's to judge for myself but I was hoping those with experience going from 20" to 22" wheels experienced the same thing. Can/does the 2" difference in sidewall affect ride that much? Also, TPMS display was showing tire pressures at 40/41 PSI all the way around.
Thanks, folks.
