Is anyone having good experiences with 22+?

I have a +/- 5 mile drive on a winding hilly dirt/gravel road to and from my house that can vary from good to a pothole maze, depending on how long it's been since the county has graded it and what kind of weather we've had. The ride on my '22 Platinum is really impressive, much better even than the air suspension on my last Navigator.

Before I drove it off the lot I had the dealer swap the factory tires for Niitto Recon Grapplers that I bought beforehand, so I don't have a comparison between the two in terms of ride.

So on your Timberline, is your front center channel speaker cover wavy? Like it has 3 anchor points in really poor places? And the plastic housing around the instrument cluster, gaps in the top right and top left?
Yes, but not very badly.

I tried to tell yall, get the truck with ccd, esp if your getting the 22in rims.
So glad I joined this forum. I never new about ccd or how it works. I have a 22 Platinum Max that rides great. I read you could tell if you had it by looking at the shocks to see if a wire was connected to the shocks. Found the wire so I assume I have ccd.

Platinums have CCD. and if you didn't you would have likely had to have leaky shocks replaced already :)

I intentionally avoided the CCD when I bought my 2018. They have a history of failing prematurely, and are very very expensive to replace/fix. Then I learned that the adjustment setting was only available when you change modes. Sport is firm, economy is soft. Not sure if that is true. But sure enough failures are cropping up. But then again, the shocks are failing as well.

We just picked up our 2023 Limited Max Stealth Performance in January. We have taken it on a few road trips so far. Have almost 4K miles on it. With eco mode on we are getting on average 20 mpg. Only one issue so far. That is the rear seat entertainment system. The driver side headrest lost power so nothing on that side works. But for is remedying it in march. So we love it at a family of six. Tons of space! Tows my 10 ft dump trailer like a dream. Super comfortable and lots of power.

I wonder if they changed the suspension from the 2018 model. I did want a vehicle with off-road capability, so I expected a “firm” ride, But we have absolutely no regrets getting the standard suspension. In fact, I would call the suspension nearly perfect.

I see lots of tire issues coming from the factory - what brand/model of tire is the most trouble?
I want to avoid them when it comes time to replace mine...
