Off Road Suspension Package

[Scott Therrell]

I'm not sure this is the right topic to post this question in, but ...

 

I'm contemplating ordering a 2023 Silverado LTZ and my question is concerning what to order if I want a smooth ride. Let me start by saying I am a city dweller. I live and work in the city and never had a real need for a 4WD vehicle. My previous vehicle was a 2008 Silverado 2WD which had a smooth ride. I believe it was a LTZ or whatever the equivalent would have been. My current truck is a 2017 Silverado LT 2WD. Nothing fancy about this one. But the ride is noticeably less smooth. I can really feel speed bumps. Quick lane changes, navigating parking lots, sharp turns, etc. I really feel the truck shift from side to side. This is what I want avoid.

 

So my question is: What are the pros and cons of 2WD vs 4WD vs 4WD with an off road package? Which one is most likely to give me the ride I'm looking for?

Not sure about what package to order but sharp turns and side to side being different is probably a difference in sway bar size. It could also be a difference in the shocks and struts. There are numerous different ones used from the factory. Might try researching and reading about the different packages available and then go drive some. Driving is always the best when it comes to actually getting what you're looking for. Maybe find an intelligent and knowledgeable salesman that is educated on the different packages suspensions, but good luck with that.
