Hey all! Just purchased a 2024 AT4 6.2L last week. So far I've been enjoying it for the most part. Most of my driving has been around town. However, my family and I took a short trip this weekend and the passengers in the back complained quite a bit about how bumpy of a ride it was. I also felt a little uncomfortable in the front but not terrible. I didn't ride in the back but my daughter said it was like constant little bumps even when we weren't on bumpy/bad roads.
I understand that an at4 isn't necessarily going to be the best in terms of ride comfort compared to an SUV (for example) but has anybody else had this complaint from family and been able to fix it? I see a lot of mention of new shocks (in particular Bilstein 5100) as helping the ride but very few explain what the complaint was before other than the back of the truck getting sideways and it doesn't seem like that's what my issue is. I'd like to hear from others that experienced a similar complaint as mine and if anything worked for them. I'd hate to trade it in already and lose my butt on what is basically a new vehicle if I can get it fixed but also don't want to put even more money in to it and not help resolve the issue.
Edit: Just wanted to add I did see the great write up at https://www.at4forum.com/threads/bilstein-5160-and-6112-shock-review-for-2023-at4.1563/ which says the ride is much better for them now but also it says the ride comfort is the same or a bit less than before so not sure the improved ride they are referring to will help in my situation. I'm not experienced enough to get the difference between ride quality and comfort.
