813 - Think about hundreds and hundreds of kms of bouncing across corrugations in a forward control 4WD truck - that's not really designed for operator comfort - and the longer way on a superb National Highway, just might look a bit more attractive - if somewhat boring.
I've run a V8 forward control Bedford truck multiple times between
Adelaide and Kalgoorlie, and the boredom of the Long Paddock is pretty overwhelming - even though the Bedford did do 110kmh.
However, the Bedford did ride very
well, despite being forward control - and a lot of that is long front springs on the Beddy.
However, the 4x4 NPS 300 doesn't have the spring length of the Bedford and I don't reckon the ride is anywhere near as good as the old Bedford.
If you've actually got a
suspension seat, that might assist the ride greatly.
Cheers, Ron.
