Ordering 2023 Limited, get CCD?

[Diesel26]

I am ordering a 2023 Limited Stealth (no PP) and wondering if I should get the CCD suspension? I am coming from a 2018 GMC Sierra. I don’t want floaty suspension but also don’t want my family to be thrown around on road trips. Also worried about replacing dampers early with all the work and electronics in them. Can anyone advise or give me there own experiences with CCD from 2018 Truck. Thanks,

Get ccd, and if need be, put it in sport mode. 22s on regular suspension isn't the most comfortable, and ccd on the 22s is luxury level smooth. I believe the stealth ccd is sport tuned, so it'll be a bit firmer than the regular.

Go CCD. No CCD are still good, but compared to CCD it is day and night. May I ask why you aren't getting the Performance Stealth?

I am not getting SPP because don’t need the extra 40 HP for the MPG you loose and the extra $5K just puts it out of price range for just 40HP. And don’t need 22 speakers over 12. Nothing wrong with SPP just not worth the price to me personally. If price wasn’t an issue then I totally would go SPP

Also, the pre refresh 4th gens are notorious for eating shocks without the ccd. Most users without ccd replace them. Not many if anyone I've seen on here had shocks go bad with ccd equipped.

Picked up my '22 SPP this week and I wish I had added the CCD. It just wasn't on my radar when ordering.

The ride is still comfortable, but not as nice as my '19 F150 (that didn't have CCD.)

Having been in 2015 Silverado, even the base suspension on the expy will be better. The truck will feel smoother at first, but those trucks deteriorate at any badly paved road. I will say though, my 09 nav on air springs was better at isolation on bad roads than my 18 expy without ccd. The expy was better overall though.

I feel the same way. I didn’t really know what it was so figured I didn’t need it. Went on a 4 hour trip this weekend and on parts of the hi-way (generally where it was concrete) it felt pretty rough. Now I wish I had ordered it. Is there a way to have it added after delivery?

Unfortunately no, I wanted to do this on my 18 when I had it, but no there's no way to do so, i was even willing to pay ford to do this. I will always recommend ccd, as good as the base suspension is, it still feels very trucky and out of date compared to the ccd equipped trucks.

Don’t all the stealths have ccd?

 

[Diesel26]

No, none of the stealths after 2021 come standard with CCD, they come standard with a sports suspension. To get the CCD you have to add it as a $995 option.

does anyone know if the regular limited can get Road Preview? its currently not on the builder but i think it could be missing something

 

[dlcorbett]

Yes, ccd road preview is included with all ccd. The only differences with ccd is the sport tuned version for stealth and stealth performance. Also, I wouldn't be surprised if plattys are tuned slightly softer than the others (midway btw ltd/kr trim and nav tune)

Ok cuz I am not seeing it on the builder for the regular limited…

I'm comparing a bit of apples to oranges, but my 2022 SPP with CCD rides sooooo much smoother than my Gen 3 2017 Limited with 20's and standard suspension. Handles better too. I'm glad I checked that box - all due to recommendations from this forum.

No they do not

yea i was wondering if the Regular Limited can get CCD as it used to be on the builder and now it isnt...

 

[dlcorbett]

On the 302a, it's still an option.

Did you figure out a way to get this corrected?

Do you know how to tell if a vehicle is pre refresh or not?
