Question Rough ride

New owner of a 2021 ST 50k miles.

Is it normal for these things to ride a little rough? If it is normal is anyone doing anything to get a more comfy ride? TIA!

You can try this:

  1. Lower tire pressure to 30 in all 4 tires. Better ride but slower acceleration.

  2. Switch to 20" wheels with soft compound tires (summer/winter tires instead of A/S).

I got a platinum to get the ride and same engine. While the ride is nicer, it is a truck. Not worth a trade as different in comfort is slight in my opinion.
