I got an F150 18 months ago when normal SUVs simply weren't cutting it for moving stuff out of in laws former home in SC to MA. Neither of them could tow the skin off a rice pudding let alone a U haul trailer. Renting a U haul even for a local run was uncomfortable as all hell. Forget doing 940 miles in one unless you want to stop at Chiropractors for adjustments every few miles.Then why purchase a p/u? Just curious.
Same here. A lot of deliveries are now happening in the UK/EU and they have waited for a year or so.I need to drive one on pavement to make a final decision. I am in with what I believe is an early reservation, but no clue how that will play out in actual delivery position.
Tuesday we should have all the details, unless it's another announcement about an announcement, again...Did the test drive yesterday (preproduction prototypes) in IL. Handling, stiffness pretty good so far. There was a short flat gravel part that was decent enough to go faster. Definitely better than a Defender . Overall, I'd be interested until the pricing scheme is announced. I've been holding off on a vehicle purchase for quite some time now.
Also, I believe I have been spoilt with the air suspension on my LR3 which is pretty comfy on trails.
Also, there are 2 front upper radius arms and 2 front lower radius arms.
According to the guy at my test drive, the production allotment was intended at 7000 for the USA in model year one and they already had 7300 reservations. It will all depend on how many people convert from reservation to order.Hoping that US orders will be a tad smoother.

I am still curious what makes for a bad pavement ride in a Def. I really liked everything about a 2016 110 in the UK, except for the turning radius.Pretty sure it's a safe bet it'll drive better than a Def on pavement. Lol. At least it was designed in this century.
My guess is most people have blown out suspension components and very tired bushings. If everything is in good condition they ride pretty well in my experience.I am still curious what makes for a bad pavement ride in a Def.

The rough ride, I believe, is often self-inflicted - the suspension is exactly the same as in a coil-sprung RRC, which can ride really well.
