"while thousands of aussies keep excepting ----the unsuitable for real outback conditions suspensions ---- i guess the japs will leave their heads in the sand and the after market people will keep laughing all the way to the bank with your money"
NO it's called providing a product that the majority of people want...... I would happily say 85% of all 4x4's sold will never venture any further off road than a good maintained dirt road.
So why build a 4x4 that only 15% of the market may want.
Standard
suspension will get people further then they think or ever want to go and for the others who want more there is a choice of aftermarket gear.
Suspension is cheap...... spend $50,000 on a 4x4 and another $1500 on
suspension to suit your needs...... or pay $51,500 and get one with the
suspension already done.
Look at Jeep..... you can get the same model with an everyday
suspension setup or pay a lot more and get one with a more off road setup.... end of the day your still paying weather it's factory or aftermarket.
Toyota in the USA offer 3
suspension kits on some of their 4x4's..... standard and as an option TRD sports and TRD off road.
All you have to do is read the forums and there are many people wanting to upgrade their
suspension but don't want to loose their soft comfy ride quality.
What do you call real outback conditions?
