    I have a 16 Titanium and the ride is firm but not bad.  I have the 17" alloy wheels.  Shock absorbers can also make a difference.  In the past when I have changed struts and shocks the most noticeable difference was in how smooth the new shocks were.  Less resistance over small bumps but more and better resistance over the bigger stuff.  The normal inflation pressure on the tires is pretty high but that is due to the load rating.  I would expect if you are empty or lightly loaded the pressure could be dropped a little bit.  I like men the way it is as it handles very nicely and will out corner my Volt.  My daughter has a Honda van and it rides and drives better until it comes to the curves.  Then the TC is much better.  IMO it has a very European feel, very firm but not harsh.  

     

    Couple of days ago I saw a pickup driving fast and aggressively on the interstate.  Amazing the amount of suspension movement it had - not in a good way.  At one point they swerved from the right land across two lanes, they had a bit of difficulty controlling the truck.  Wondered if it was really bad shocks or an off road setup.  80+ in a 60 when everyone else was doing 65-70 (MPH).  

     

    What shock absorbers are you using?

    Like the setup - easy access AND still leaves the back clear for grocery shopping and such when it's folded up. Have to maybe steal a couple ideas there. 

     

    Here's where I'm at so far. Plan is to have an outside table that will attach to the side of the kitchenette and store against the front of the cabinet when travelling to keep rear vision clear. Was gonna go with a shorter table just supported by a bracket on the door, but maybe a longer one that would fold down, then slide out with legs to support it ... hmmmmm ...

     

    A work in progress here anyway.

    That's a tidy setup. Like it!

    Nah, there's too much sidewall on those tires, haha. Here's a good example of a Chevy bro truck. My van has more mud on it right now than this Chevy will ever see in it's life, lol.

    It is like a hearse with those big, shiny wheels.
