My credo
it is easier to fix and understand than "her"
that suspension is pretty clumsy, but at least it is a diesel.

How does being a diesel make it better ?

What's clumsy about it? Looks to be pretty similar to a lot of the suspension set ups that are on other trucks in the class.

Being where it is it may not be as emission choked as a US truck.

And probably comparable to most stock NA Rangers. That doesn’t mean it isn’t clumsy, just as a crawler it isn’t great.
