You may want to drive it for a few days on different surfaces and see if you can live with it. If you plan on modding the suspension or tires, then nope. If you plan hwy and family trips, then yea.

I love it, but sometimes I feel like it floats too much on roads with dips. However, I would not let it be a dealbreaker.

I personally feel that my xlt with bilsteins rode better in every way than my platinum with ccd. I wish I did NOT have CCD.

I did find when I first got mine, I didn't like the ride. Then I was told, since mine was a certified pre-owned, to reset the PCM memory. So, I had it done, and I must say it changed everything from performance to shifting, acceleration, gas mileage, etc. I'm still a fan of CCD.
I like both, but my nav ride is better than how my expy did. With that said, I didn't add bilsteins to my expy. The expy let more road textures and bumps into the cabin, but the ccd has a lot more body motion. Depends on what you can stomach more. The bump impacts were more annoying to me than the bounciness and floatiness.

Also, just to note. I did NOT care for the ride in the XLT before the Bilstein's. It was overly soft and not wonderful before the bilstein's.

That is easy enough to try, I will give that a go and see if there is any difference. I am skeptical but it would be nice if it made a difference.

I've driven 3 low-mileage 22 Expeditions: my Platinum w/CCD and 2 rentals w/out CCD. Night and day difference — I would never buy an expedition without CCD. It handles rough gravel/dirt/washboard roads even better than my Navigaitors did with their air shocks.

My thinking is that if you're not planning on lifting the vehicle, then you're way better off with the CCD. If you are wanting a lifted vehicle, there are better candidates than an Expedition.
My '20 had CCD, my '22SPP does not. I didn't realize I had to order it as with my '20 it just came with the package I had.
That said, I slightly prefer CCD. The floating feel to it did drive me nuts but my base suspension now rides worse than my lowered F150. I may swap to Bilsteins and see how much of an improvement there is.

CCD is definitely a
Plus if your not into modding it. Long road trip rig definitely CCD.
If its going to be a dirt rig then keep it simple skip ccd

We have a '22 SPP Max without the CCD. For the driver and front passenger, I think the ride is mostly acceptable. I find that it gets worse as you go back rows..but the kids don't really complain. I wanted the sport suspension, but would have liked alot more absorption over bad pavement than what the stock setup offers. I'm hoping that when the OEM tires go, the replacements will make me regret less not getting the CCD option. I recently had a Hemi Durango as a rental and that had a far better suspension that was both fun to drive, keep at speed, and soak up broken pavement.
Both of those models have ccd. The post refresh trucks ride better on all suspension opts.
I’d try as much as possible to get the CCD option. In sport mode, the floaty feel is really all gone and nice and tight but then you can go back to normal mode for a super smooth ride. The suspension seems to be more on point overall. I wouldn’t let it be a total deal breaker but if you don’t get it then plan to be changing the shocks to a better brand like Bilsteins since the non CCD shocks are of pretty poor quality. Other thing to look at it what brand tires are on the non CCD trucks. Lack of CCD and Hancock tires is a disaster.

My only negative is that I’ve got a defective part in my passenger front that’s shutting the entire system down including drive modes. It’s something on national back order and the ride is noticeably worse with the drive fault message seeming to kill the system.

I’m in the same boat. 23s with .9% or 1.48% interest in my area. Lot of stealths Do Not have CCD. This will be a pavement only vehicle.
