Thanks for the info, it’s definitely relevant to to me. That’s similar in size to what I pull, how is it going up those mountain passes?
I’ve owned a 2008, 2014 and 2018. The brakes on the 2018, the suspension and transmission all took a backseat to the earlier models - they tried too hard with the moderate refresh and missed the mark. The ABS locks up way too quickly, the nose dives and the eight speed can’t find the right gear, and I think because of that it was actually slower (even though R&T states otherwise). It takes third gear to get to 60 versus two in the earlier models. My wife and I both agreed, we literally hated it and sold it in 10 months. I will say that the technology did get slightly better (nothing in comparison to Ford or even Dodge though, which is sad to say) and the leather seats are a bit more comfortable.
The 2014 was really nice and drove like the 2008. The downsides were the stereo (tough to navigate through the touchscreen display) and The perforated leather which wore quickly.
My favorite was the 2008, which we owned when we owned the 2014 and 2018. The JBL sounded the best (don’t know why), the truck handed the best and of all of them, it just felt more solid all around. I sold it last year - I hate that I did.
Correct. ABS activation probably has more to do with stronger front brakes and potentially less traction from worse tires than anything else.The suspensions were not materially changed between model years.
I vote for features causing increases in curb weight that form these impressions.

If less than a 200# increase in weight makes that significant of a driving difference to you in a Cruiser than you belong driving for Ferrari.
@TeCKis300 do you actually notice a difference in the way a 200 drives when you have a friend in the front seat or not?
You don't have to believe me, but yes, I do. You probably would too driven back to back at more than a casual pace. Note where much of the weight gain is, over the front axle.
The weight increase, the lower gearing of the 8-speed necessitating more shifts to 60, the larger brakes noted by some to be more grabby, are likely combining to create the impression.
I don't know what's up with their specs, but the total sum should be 5,875 lbs.
My other car would eat some Ferrari's for lunch.

If you look behind the front tires at the suspension on a 2008 versus a 2018, you'll notice extra components (i.e. dampeners, etc.) - so yes, some things have changed. And I will say the 2018 does not ride as tight as a 2008, whether that is due to suspension changes, weight, etc., I'm not sure. But overall, it does ride differently.
Not sure what you mean by this. Coming from a 2016 GMC Yukon denali and my wife’s 2014 Acura MDX, I have found my 2020 Heritage to have a pretty awesome cruise control system. It’s very smooth and not overly reactive or intrusive.Cruise control is still retarded on both transmissions.
What complaints, I have a 16 and if I floor it from a stand still it shifts odd.I have 2016 with 8 never driven one with 6. I like the 8 the TSB fixed my 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 1st complaints. I tow with mine and use 6th for that as books say I should, 6th is 1:1. I am at 45K miles no issues to report. I live in Austin area and it will hold cruise speed in hills rpm change is only way I know that it changed gear. The ECT PWR button is cool I only ever use it towing but lot of folks on here use it all the time. I regally run 80+ and with 8 speed I am just under 2000rpm for that speed. Good luck with your purchase.
