I bought the 2020 limited black edition. Has the air ride and so far no issue with cold weather however I am getting a noise in the front suspension at low speed hard turning. Going to keep monitoring this one. But all in all so far a great truck.

Mine spent last winter getting hammered outside with snow, Nor'Easters and sub-zero temps. I was concerned, but it worked flawlessly. It now has a garage, so I have hardly any concerns. I think the issues which I read about before buying too were well north, ie Canada and prior year models...and it's unclear to me it was systemic. I wouldn't lose any sleep over it. Try both rides with and without, let that be your guide. I use mine all the time; think - lowering for parking garages. 16k miles later - Love it.

Thank you for the input, I appreciate it. I live in New York and PA, Temps in NY is rarely below 0 degs and in PA maybe in Early February you could have a couple of - 0 degs days.

Hey Mike, how about you address the issue of air suspension, cold climates, and not being warranted issues with air suspension due to cold climates.

From what I understand here, the leveling component in the air suspension get a stop, and causes the nitrogen tank to pump itself out.

So, the problems I’ve read about here, or not related to seals in the suspension itself, but the loss of gas in the system, caused by the pump running and Leslie, due to the leveling sensor is getting iced up.
