Picked up a new D-Max

[jaydee]

Picked up the latest 4X4 D Max from the dealer yesterday.
My Daughter and her fiance who live up north bought it and asked me to pick it up here in Perth after about a 16 month wait.
They have an old Patrol past it used by date so lashed out on a new car. Tried to talk them into a low kay used HiLux, but heart set on a new car.
They need it and will use it extensively.

So, first impressions, looks great, seating is comfortable, drives well, except...
My God, the ride is terrible, feel every bump in the road, every join, every road repair.
It was like reading Braille.
Checked the tyre pressures, one had 55, the rest 45 to 48.
Let them down to 33, went for another drive, bounce, bounce, bone jarring ride.

Now she wants me to do a road trip and take it up to Broome for them, 2000km.
No way, I just couldn't do it, my back won't make it and I'll be like one of those bobble head dolls.

I'll pay to truck it up, worth every cent.
