Ride quality issues

Hello!

Going on 6 months owning my 2023 Limited CrewMax (5k miles) and just recently noticed that I have slight vibrations that I can feel in my seat, and I can feel every single bump on the road. Even on a “smooth” road I can feel every imperfection in the cab. It just doesn’t seem right.

My question is, has anyone heard of issues with hydraulic cab mounts? I feel like there has to be an issue with something but can’t figure it out. It did not drive like this before. It seems to be coming from the rear end, so it either has to be shocks, wheels or the hydraulic mounts? I assume I have these mounts if it’s a limited?

Just wanting to see if anyone has experienced an issue or not, I found a few threads of someone with the same miles and trim and started to experience comfort issues with the suspension.

 

Are you still running factory tires? Most often vibrations that you are describing are caused by tire issues. It also doesn't help that the factory tires on these trucks are just terrible.

 

Yeah I’m running factory tires (Bridgestone duelers), could that really be a cause for feeling constant bumps even on a smooth road? If I drive on a road with slight imperfections (not pot holes but small divots etc) it feels like I’m driving on a gravel road sometimes. It has to be something that is “worn” in since it did not do it up until recently.

 

Could be a host of things with tires. Bad alignment, out of balance, radial belt separation etc. This would be the first place to start looking. Then move on from there. All it takes is one bad one.

 

Looks like I may just take it to the dealer and have them figure it out. Something definitely isn’t right.

 

Tires

 

Is there a known issue with the tires? Specifically the duelers?

 

Other than they suck?

don’t think there is a known defect but it’s for sure the place to start as others have said , could be a wheel weight fell off or something else

 

I second what Borla said. Those tires are garbage. I got rid of mine with in the year I believe. You would think that manuf's would spend a little more on tires for the price they are asking for these trucks.

 

Mine has Yokohama's. Which are riding great. I am basing it on my experience with other vehicles that a tire or tires are more than likely the culprit.

 

I also have the duelers. I'm unimpressed and they're hot garbage in the snow. Also should have come with 33" tires from the factory.

 

I echo what others have said; in the last 20 years I've had Duelers 2x; both times they made me regret getting them.

 

As others have stated, I believe more than likely you’ve thrown a weight from one of your rears.I’d have both road force balanced. Unless you’ve run through some rough pavement or curbed one of your 20” rims and bent one.
Have you adjusted air pressures lately ? Not sure where you live, but as the temperatures have warmed into the summer your pressures will increase. I’m still fine tuning my exact pressures for my preference but try 36fr - 33rr unless you’re loading up the bed or towing. I’m actually trying 35-32 currently on my limited with the 20” Bridgestones.
