What it feels like driving the RHO in wind

Been crazy wind in Michigan lately... This is about as a precise depiction as possible. LOL...

Cant be worse than a Jeep wrangler lol

Never owned a wrangler but a box on wheels cant be any better... I went from a ram to a ram, and I dont remember my other ram getting blown around like this one... Maybe black catches more wind than white. My logical opinion.

Exactly where I am. Today I was damn near turning the wheels 45 degrees to stay straight

Where are you at in MI? Im sitting upstairs in my office finishing up some work and not sure my house is gonna stay standing... But for real, is it related to being a big tire truck? I definitelt have changed some of my driving habits and seem to have to work a little more to keep her straight. Feel like lane assist is trying to correct me all the time where as my old ram barely ever tried to correct.

Sounds like less of an RHO issue and more of a Michigan having crazy winds issue lol there's probably a guy in his silverado zr2 in Michigan making the same thread on their forum lol

Welcome to owning a large truck. When you sit higher you're going to feel that wind, just the way it is. Still waiting for my RHO but current and previous truck were 6" lifts with 37" tires, so I know what is like.

Valid point... Silverado guy said to put 200lbs of sand bags in bed as counter weight.

 

[RADA]

We regularly have winds of 25-60 mph around here.

I haven't noticed my RHO turning into the U.S.S. Rhino...

I own both! The Wrangler is definitely worse: it's as aerodynamic is a billboard. But the RHO gets tossed around too in these crazy winds we've been having this spring.

Cant you just take the top off the wrangler to resolve that one??? LOL... The billboard aerodynamics is the wave of the future.

Only a little. Haha. The windshield on those things has almost no rake. It's damn near vertical!!

Im just east of Williamston.

I think it's just the height/profile. My Sierra didn't take the wind nearly as much.

Not a complaint, just a surprise. Should be real fun when the roads are a sheet of ice and it's blowing 40+.

Your not lying... Might need to buy a winter beater. Lol... Have family out in Howell. Just curious. Im in the Detroit area and have only saw one other RHO out and about so far.

I live in Wisconsin, same type of crazy winds lately. But I've been driving a lifted truck for about 10 years I think you just get used to knowing how to handle the truck in those winds. It's a heavy truck you will be fine.

Damn I ordered mine in white with the bed decals... I'm gonna be screwed in the wind

 

[Chieffreeze]

I guess we could add a sail to the bed and increase our gas mileage.
