I bought my 2018 in July this year with 24k miles. One thing I have noticed is when driving straight and I ned to make a slight correct of go intpo a turn, when I move the wheel in either direction, it takes more effort than any vehicle I have owned with power steering.
This is my first electric steering vehicle I have owned, so I nothing to compare it to. My '94 Ram 2500, 87 F150, and wife's Ford Edge all steer much easier and more comfortable.
The truck tracks great, has been aligned, the tires are new Michelin defenders, aired up. It also did this with the Firestone tires that came on the truck.
I enjoy driving this truck a lot, but where I live the roads have lots of small turns, and the extra effort is annoying and tiring. Just the lean of the road where you need a little effort to keep the truck in its land takes more effort. In 50+ years of driving almost everything, I have never had this abnormal type of feeling in the steering.
Is this normal, or is something going on?
The caster is 3.5 driver's side and 3.75 passenger. Camber 3.5 both sides, toe 1 deg in.
