Ford F250

Hi KG
Used to own a Bronco, the flexing chassis was great and we did extensive off road work with it travelling 350000klms and often towing heavy vans and equipment. The vehicle survived with no problems, just too wide for the less used Hiogh Country Tracks.

Well I have a different version of the flexing chassis. It seems that Ford has still retained this feature on their vehicles. I had a 1977 F100 350 XLT LWB 4x4 and it was the single most useless 4by that I have ever owned. It used to cock a wheel with the flexing chassis and all traction would be lost. I was living in Kununurra at the time and just out of town there was a small sand dune. This flippin 4by would not and could not climb that dune in whichever gear. Thinking that it must have been my fault I went back to where we were working at the time and borrowed the company Landrover shorty and drove up and over the dune in 2wd !!
The Ford let me down like that on numerous occasions and I dumped it at the first opportunity. It was as smooth and as powerful as silk on the highway but mild offroad work and it was a dog!
Cheers,
