Lobo Handling?

[VJD]

Considering a Lobo to replace my 2020 Silverado. The Silverado is leveled with adjustable suspension and is now a nice running truck. All my previous trucks have been lowered sport trucks. My question to Lobo owners who have some miles on their trucks, have you noticed any handling "quirks" that were not initially evident? For example: On center steering play or delay? Mid corner instability when going over expansion joints or rough surfaces? Sensitivity to freeway traffic air turbulence?

I have not test driven a Lobo yet as it has been raining up here in the PNW. Appreciate any input. Thanks

No quirks, drives great. I came to the Lobo from a Ram 3500 that was a tow monster. But comparing a Lobo to a full size 1 ton pickup is like comparing day to night.
If you get a Lobo next spring you're welcome to meet me at Oregon Raceway Park as my guest and see just how quirky it can be!

It honestly drives very much like a sports car when in lobo mode. When you have it in standard mode it feels like a small suv that handles the road very well. No complaints here.

I've put 6,000 miles on mine including a 1,200 mile jaunt with no stops (not counting fuel)

My only complaint is the shitty tires for what Ford calls a "street truck". They do very well on the highway and in the rain though, so.....haha.

Good on the highway and in the rain is as "street" as it gets, isn't it?

Thank you for your response and kind offer. Sounds great!

Finally got around to driving a Lobo today. Fun little truck. Throttle response, suspension tuning and the brakes are very good. Felt stable and planted. Only thing I noticed, is a tiny bit of front end wander or oscillation while going straight at freeway speeds. Felt like it was turbulence induced. Having said that, not a show stopper. There is much to like about the Lobo.

Feel fine to me. It actually reminds me of my Ford Fiesta ST I had years ago. I traded in a Ram 1500 and though it was a good truck the steering response is night and day.
