Much appreciated. Yeah, it’s a bit of a dilemma, but what I didn’t mention is that none of it is an option unless/until GM dealers start discounting models. I feel we aren’t that far off from it happening (continued rising interest rates plus a REAL looming recession in 2023), so I’m in no rush.
Paying sticker for a Raptor is one thing, but there is no way in hell I’m paying sticker for a GM AT4 or Denali. I’ll happily keep my Raptor until GM dealers come around and live with the crappy gas mileage.
Regarding the Raptor suspension, yeah some don’t like it b/c they feel it’s a bit too ‘spongy’, but I think in the 3rd generation, they’ve made it even better. The Raptor shocks double up as a desert slayer and a great DD on long trips.
I agree with you that if I can drive an AT4 and it feels pretty good, then maybe swapping out for some Fox shocks would make it even better, even if it’s not a Denali.
The sales guys don’t know anything …….that’s the problem. Their answers are usually poorly researched.
