Hi Guys,
Have a RAM 3500 6.7 2022. This is my first RAM.

I have only one complaint. In sharp corners it feels like the truck wants to oversteer. Almost
get a feeling you could turtle if you turn the wheel a little bit to much.

Truck has adaptiv steering. Steering feels quite light, but tracks o.k. on the freeway.

Everything is stock. Tires are Firestones TF.

Is this normal behavior?

If you're running high PSI on your tires you may be basically driving on bicycle tires (crowned in the center). Could also be alignment.

Could also be that adaptive steering just cutting sharper than you'd think it would. Never had AS, never will, so I can't really say personally.

I have a constant battle with my dealer over tire psi. Every service they jack all 4 tires to 60 psi when the Transport Canada and FCA stickers in the drivers side door frame indicate max psi front at 55 and rear at 45. That is just this vehicle. They have done this with all 3 different vehicles I purchased there so always check your tires after dealer service. Now when I book service I specify tire psi to factory settings, and they comply.

I've heard of a few recent trucks coming from factory out of alignment.
