Just wanted to introduce myself. Undeserving new guy from NC triad area here. As an unrepentant non loyalist I swap vehicles often and just traded in a 2016 F150 Supercab for a 2017 Suburban Midnight Edition Z71 LT. I travel for work weekly and am always in a rental vehicle so Subs, Tahoes, Yukons, and Expeditions have been regular drivers for me for many years but this is the first one of the bunch I have actually owned. So far I love it with the exception of the tires that come on the Z71 package, the Goodyear Fortitude HP or something. I am strongly considering swapping to a Nitto Terra Grappler G2 or Exo Grappler in LT275/65/18 to get a stiffer side wall and less mushy ride with an more aggressive tread pattern. I look forward to learning more here and appreciate the opportunity to participate. I did see the Sub forum further down but it doesnt look like it sees much traffic comparatively.

Welcome.

FWIW, that's the first time I've ever heard someone call these rides mushy!

Without MRC, I found the ride to be very mushy and wallowing.

Welcome! Sounds like a sweet ride. Motto Grapplers would look awesome on the Z71. Idk how amazing they are as a highway tire though.
