    I read more than a few posts on here about how terrible the sport rides. I have had it for 2,000 miles so far and was able to get into some mountain roads this weekend and I love how this thing rides and handles. I debate with myself all the time if eventually I will lift and add some larger tires but I am thinking it may never happen because I don't get off road and I love the way it handles on the highway at speed. I get it if one is going off road all the time but I think my sport is very smooth and handles the highway great. I can't imagine a truck that can go around turns at speed like this one. It feels pretty planted to me. Also the MT is a good time on the mountain roads. Just my 2cents. Not all of us think the sport rides harsh.

    Wanted to add that when I was able to get out on highway upstate mileage was over 20 mpg on last 2 tanks. I am usually around 18-19 around town.
    Haha. This may freak some of you people out but I like the grill and embrace the chrome. LOL!!!IMG_20170912_122230.jpg

    I have the hitachi shocks on my SR, and don't mind the ride myself. However, when there's a carsick puppy in the truck ... and you're trying everything possible to keep them comfortable, one quickly realizes how shit they are over bumps.

    Agreed, my TRD Sport handles fine too - rides like a truck but I kindof expected that.
