Best Ride For Back Sufferers
 
Hey gang! What is the best truck to own for the best ride down the worst roads that America has and God knows there are some terrible roads out there—some in city streets. Also what can be added to make a vehicle better for a bad back sufferer like myself who still likes to travel but can’t due to arthritis in the lower back and extremities. Thanks. GregWorks.

A half-ton truck could be a good choice if you're looking to handle rough roads a bit more smoothly. Options like the Ram 1500, Ford F-450, or Chevrolet Silverado 1500 usually come with softer suspensions, which help absorb bumps better.

For an even smoother ride, you might consider adding air suspension or upgrading to adjustable shocks. You could also look at seats with better support or cushions for back pain relief. Another tip
is to slightly lower the air pressure in the tires to soften the ride.

Hope that helps, and safe travels!
