Time to upgrade

[Mtank79]

I’m new to the site & I’ve tried searching on here as well as google. I have a 19 Rebel & I’m looking at a 21 Rebel night edition. Is there any suspension differences between the 19 & 21s? My current truck performs worse in wet ground or loose gravel on inclines than any 4x4 I’ve owned. I swapped the Goodyears out @ 51k miles for a set of Toyo AT3s & the truck performs the same. This truck feels too light in the back as well.

same suspension.

also, the stock Bilsteins even though they do work, they do have rooms for improvement. An empty bed doesn't help with your problem lol. you might want to put some weight in the rear end to help with traction.

True & I’ve debated about adding things but never have. The truck I’m looking at has line-x & a bedcover. Not a lot but more than my current truck.

yeah those are not much weight.
I have Decked in the back and GFC right now, so that's about ~500lb of weight if not slightly over. I'm running Fox 2.5 with Carli Rebel HD springs in the back.
So far I got no issues.

Before I had a lighter setup. Same suspension but with bed rack and roof tent, so about ~400lb of weight. No issues whatsoever.

You're swapping out basically for the same truck. Unless you're just getting a smoking deal, the truck has less miles and somethings your current truck doesn't have, it doesn't seem like a good financial decision.

yes what @firemedic10584 said.

if you absolutely must upgrade i'd say go for a 22+. That way at the very least you get uconnect5 lol
