    I'm in MN too, Lance, so know what you mean about the rust proofing. LOL Definitely check your tire pressures...lower will soften up the ride. The mileage is probably what it is with the heavier E-load tires though. Look into a tune as others have said for the shifting issues. Best of luck!

    It looks like they missed some spots? I'd hit the fasteners with WoolWax ASAP.

    I’m coming from a Durango but also and still currently own a 2006 Chevy Silverado. It’s certified pre-owned by Toyota so I thought this would not be an issue.

    this is what I was wondering, thanks for narrowing it down.
    I have E rated and they ride harsh and are heavy AF. My MPGs easily went down 2-3 MPGs. Hindsight, I should've got something different.
    Still OP check tire pressures,,, especially on Es.
    Not sure what to say about that suspension,,, I'd get it to a good off road shop. The stock Pros are notorious for having a nice smooth ride.

    You bet
    Sorry, I guess I could have at least shared my E rated tire pressures, not sure they’ll work for you, but an example might be nice.
    F 41-42
    R 44-45
    I can go down 5 psi easily to soften ride at expense of yet another MPG
