Does the off road package change the factory ride feel

[big Ron]

Was looking at adding the off road package to to my 2019 Ram 1500 Laramie 4 x 4 Sport but I had a few questions about the off-road package wanting to know does anyone have it and does it change the overall Factory feel with the one inch lift and A/T tires?

Big Ron, I don’t have the ORP, but the question has been discussed vigorously on this and other forums. I’d say the general consensus among owners is that the trademark good ride of the Ram 1500 is not compromised. If you need the enhancements that come with the package, it’s a solid value. If you just want the 4x4 decal, add it later.

Congratulations on the upcoming truck.

Not that my backside can feel. When purchasing I was test driving an ORP truck (the one I bought) and a non ORP and honestly couldn’t tell the difference. However, I was coming from a truck that rode rough so both the OPR and non ORP rides like a dream.

I did drive a truck that was a non ORP truck before I ordered mine. I was really impressed with the ride. At the time, they didn’t have a ORP to drive. I ordered mine with the off road package with out ever driving one. Once mine came in, I was pleasantly surprised that the smooth ride was still there. It’s hard to say if there was any difference since I didn’t drive them back to back. From memory I believe the ORP may be a touch stiffer but not really noticeable unless you drive both on the same road back to back.

I have received a lot of compliments on the how quiet and smooth my truck is. Don’t know if the non ORP ride better, but it is good enough for me

I test drove a non-ORP for several hours and now drive an ORP Limited. Yes, it is stiffer but it is still very smooth. I was amazed the first time I drove over some railroad tracks. Put a grin on my face. Folks that ride in mine are all amazed at how smooth it is.

I would wager that the ORP is still significantly smoother/better ride than any competitor. If ultimate ride smoothness is your goal, don't get the ORP. But if you need any of the features ORP offers and won't notice a 2-5% difference in ride then absolutely get the ORP.

I drove non-ORP and ORP back to back. I found the ORP to be slightly stiffer, but I felt that the difference in ride quality was insignificant and got the ORP.

 

[big Ron]

thanks alot guys for all your input

My ORP does ride a bit stiffer and I've noticed a bit of "wobble" in some instances than remind me I'm driving a pickup. That comes from the 6'4" bed, 1in lift, HD shocks, and bulkier tires. However, I get compliments from everyone who's ever ridden along on the ride quality. I love the air suspension when I swing by an ATM or have to pull off the road at a work site. Best of every world.

I notice zero difference in ride between the ORP and not ORP trucks

I did a 3.5 inch lift and it drives the same,e except for the gas mileage

This ride is as smooth as my escalade which has magnetic ride control. I do plan on putting ridge grappler 295/65 and the leveling kit by rough country next week, so I expect the ride to be different, but not bad by any means.

Rod, Im an agent as well, down here in Houston. This is my everyday driver, before I had a '13 longhorn larmie which I drove daily, and preferred it over my ct6 as well. I have had F150's and Sierras and Ram in my opinion has always had a better ride.

It’s one thing to speak freely but there is also the beating the horse to death syndrome with gas mileage. Doesn’t help the forum.

 

[Gman]

I tested both ORP and Limited with air suspension. I primarily drive on the pavement, so I went with the premium ride. Whatever works the best for your lifestyle.

No but I’ve created many forums over the years.
