It can get pretty rough, I'll explain from what I normally do. First I got pick up a bunch of equipment that weights just over a ton (someone had actually measured it by weight their truck but i forget the exact number) Not alot of weight for these at all but its added weight. Next I'll drive 8-12 hours to get to the lease road (the road that is dug up of its trees and rubbish to get towards the rig) probably about 1000km average to a lease road. Then we'll go down this twisty thing that seems like it was build in WWI, until we get to the rig. Usually alot of uphil driving. Very hard on the shocks, bottom out all the time. Sometimes we get so hung up in mud that it gets packed under so tight that we can't even fully shift into park (that happened to my buddy, hes truck rolled out of the wash bay into a sign).

Its by no means the worst scenarios you can put in front of a truck, but it adds up because we do it ALOT. And of course theres human error. You can drive into a ditch durring a sudden white out. just lots of stuff. Oh and plus when we get a little time at work, we'll go offroading in the mountains too

Don't get me wrong, nice trucks. Just wouldnt last long enough for me.

 

I loved my dodge too. Only problems I had was twisting up the universal joints from my bully dog chip. Never had any engine or tranny troubles. I'd get another one for sure (I think) but I wanted a change of scnario. 03 just rolled over 200,000KM. I have to say though this chev handles way better, way more power and way more comfortable on the inside!

 

Its a deal

 

I loved my fx4....but dont miss the mpg's on it.
