My one ton tracks beautifully with new components and new radials. Clean, straight, one hand (two fingers on the wheel). When people ride with me they say they are surprised. The wheel isn’t “tight” like a new Toyota, and I think that is to be expected. Looking down at a phone while driving these old girls is even more endangering because they aren’t as “touchy” on the steering wheel. Drive with focus and you’ll stay road true (if your components are good and aligned 😎).

That being said, yes, it is tiring to drive, mostly because of the road noise at 60 mph. I insulated it quite well with dynamat and bubble insulation, but it still isn’t a 2020 truck. I could insulate it more I guess.

I agree with both viewpoints here.
