Default Got my New Copper Sport tonight

Pretty amazed at the difference in ride quality between my 2016 Crew long bed and the new Copper Sport Crew short bed. It is like driving a Cadillac compared to the Long Bed. Don't understand why the long bed was so rough riding???? No air suspension on the Copper Sport. Seems odd not having that on a truck with the full tow package? But then I didn't order the truck. Picked it off the lot. New Copper Sport has the 3:92 compared to the long beds 3:21's. I only noticed about a 200-300 RPM difference at 70 mph. Long bed was getting around 1500rpm at 70, Copper Sport is getting around 1800rpm. EVIC says I'm getting 21mpg at 69-70. Has a nice Sport growl to the exhaust as well. The new truck has the full tow package on it. Love the 30 gallon tank....$$$$$$$. Just thought I would throw out some first impressions.....

congratulations! the difference in ride is due to the rear axle is further back and the weight on it being less. I had the same issues on a similar truck some time ago. My wife would get sick on some roads.
