who hates ford

Much the reason they're still stuck on a solid front axle when the GM trucks have had IFS since 1988. They're not exactly known for innovation.

Could that be because GMs solid axle made the truck turn sharper to the left then to the right, because the front passenger side tire stuck out further?

I prefer my solid axle. Hence the GMs breaking under 2k rpm launches in 4x4. More parts the more chance of break down. Solid axle weighs less and allows the truck to be able to haul more as well, but who uses a truck to haul anything anymore? All that matters is which one is prettier

I prefer the ride of IFS over the SFA. I usually gross 12-15,000 lbs. and occasionally just over 30,000 lbs., so I qualify, I think.

However, if I'm a bogger or one of those fellers, I hear the SFA is the only way to go. That's not really my thing, though. I have exactly no knowledge of that type of thing, other than it looks cool as heck!

I've only been stuck bad once in the mud when I was hauling a load of logs and had to have a backhoe push on the back of the trailer to get me moving again. In that instance, it didn't matter if it was IFS or SFA - I was not going anywhere.
