4th gen Limited Max Stealth performance with 304A package vs Max Platinum

[aksarben]

Blue Cruise is limited to certain mapped highways across the US. If that is a big part of your decision, I'd look into where it can actually be used and where you live. I have a Tesla with AutoPilot (not full self driving) and my Expy has 360 assist. I am impressed with 360 assist for what it is and totally satisfied with it in my Expy. Blue Cruise may be closer to the Tesla AutoPilot, but only working on limited mapped roads is, well, limiting. Telsa Auto Pilot works on any road without pre-mapping.

As for suspension and ride, I do not have CCD. Not sure I'd want it because when it breaks, it's expensive to repair. I drove both and found a limited that was a better deal so I bought that. It had the 22" with the Pirelli and they were smooth on freeway driving, but around town, side roads, transitions from a main road to a side road they definitely imposed more "jolt" into the cabin. I went to 20" wheels and feel it is much better that the 22s and still just as smooth on smooth roads or the freeway. Wouldn't change a thing in my purchase decision. If anything, I will go to 18" if I someday feel the 20s are too harsh, but I doubt I'd put the effort or money into that. I'd spend money first on better shocks and sway bars.

I felt the floatiness of ccd for about three days. Love it now. I drove a regular suspension one when I was buying and it was fine I think. I’m used to trucks, f350s, etc. the ccd tends to spread out the impact of a bump, while regular you feel it briefly and it’s done. Harder and quicker versus softer and longer.

Do not under any circumstances buy one without the 3.73 limited slip. I believe stealth’s got that standard, at least on the 19s when I was buying. The other gears are too high and make it sluggish, plus you have one wheel peel. Yuck.

For my 2021 the Heavy Duty Tow Package included the .3.73 Non-Lmtd Slip Rear Axle which I believe was a part of the Stealth Package.

I think there are two 3.73 axles. A regular one and a HD towing one that you can outfit with the eLSD. That thing is awesome.

Do you mean no difference between CCD and CCD w/Sport tuning or between CCD and no CCD in general?

CCD w/Sport tuning and CCD.

CCD is probably worth it

I have a 24 Limited Stealth appearance, with CCD and the ride quality is AMAZING. Way better than my XLT that I traded in.

I have Co-pilot and with the lane assist and it’s pretty good on highways and most streets, and it’s almost hands free. Very happy with it.

Mine appears to be non eLSD as part of the HD Towing package.

Yep, the eLSD is another “add on”.

Correct.
