Sluggish driving, odd slow down feeling in AT4
Just purchased a used 2020 AT4 with 18k. It has the Goodyear duratrac tires which are insanely loud, and I know the truck has descent control but even with that off and being on a flat road letting off the gas feels very odd, feels like the truck is being held back or pushed back and it’* almost like it’* slowing down but it’* not. Anyone else with an AT4 have a similar situation and curious as to why?
Depends on what you're feeling. It'* hard to judge solely based on "feels like the truck is being held back or pushed back and it’* almost like it’* slowing down but it’* not". Maybe we could give a better idea with some numbers like "while in drive on a flat road with no headwind or tailwind, when I let off the gas pedal at 60MPH it slows to 55MPH in 5 seconds" or something like that.
That having been said, noisy tires suck energy. If you have "tires which are insanely loud", remember all that noise is lost energy. It is created by tread moving through the air as well as tread blocks flexing against the ground.
What pressure are the tires inflated to?
