Extreme cold and air suspension

[clotagames]

Was near record cold here in Illinois this morning at -24, New 2019 1500 Limited spent the night in heated garage. Drove to work about 8 miles and ride got progressively worse the farther I drove. Steering felt a little tighter also.Thinking combination of LT tires and the air suspension combined for the 3/4 ton ride feel. Had air suspension on a 2016 and did not ever remember it getting that stiff but -24 will produce so new outcomes I guess. Will give it another try in morning. Supposed to be -32.

Mine was more stiff all day today. Similar temps hear near Detroit. All things pliable are less so in extreme cold. Not worried about it at all.

I think it's common. My 2014, 2016 and now 2019 all have harsh air ride during extreme cold often To the point where it hits the bump stops. It's -27c (-17f) here without windchill.

Same, I parked mine outside in Milwaukee (-22) the the truck felt lethargic the whole way to work. Stiff suspension, stiff steering, and felt like getting to 60mph even after engine & trans above 100 was a struggle.

My first time with air suspension so I don’t have a comparison though.
