iba ba ang ride ng 4x4 at 4x2 na ex?...parang f150 lariat ba ang ride ng 4x4?

[mbt]

4wd won't affect the ride... mas matigas yata yung ride ng f150 than expedition kasi rear suspension of the f150 is designed to accomodate big loads on the pickup bed...

Hindi pa ko nakasakaya sa 4WD na Expedition. Pero yung front suspension ng 4X4 ay torsion bar parang sa 4X4 na F-150 while yung 4X2 namin, coil springs ang front suspension.

Yung rear suspension ng local Expeditions standard ang air suspension kaya malambot ang ride. Yung mga galing U.S. via gray market hindi lahat naka-air suspension dahil optional lang ito sa towing package.

The F150 rides on rear leaf springs.

Haven't gotten to ride a Lariat yet, so I can't compare the ride between it and a 4x4 Expedition. Between a 4x4 and a 4x2 Expedition naman, I didn't notice much difference except for the slightly taller ride height of the 4x4.

I've ridden the local 4x4 Expe and the ride is OK in terms of comfort (much better then the Suburban). The smaller engine in the local version is a bit underpowered IMO when compared to the Suburban. We took a Suburban and Expe off-road in Batangas before and the Expe had to be shifted to 4L in some climbs unlike the Suburban which just stayed on 4H (the climb had to see the cars start from standstill).

Dunno if it's the gearing, but parang medyo underpowered sya pag pa-ahon (climbing).

bigat kasi eh...



pero very nice ride. (dahil na rin mabigat)

[IMm29]

kung sabagay nga. :lol:

It has tall gearing nga... i've tried flooring it on first gear an lumpapas ng 60kph yung speedo.

Probably combo nga ng tall gearing and weight.

The 4WD is bouncier than the 2WD. 2WD has better damping as well, and feels more stable at high speeds. The 4WD feels floaty past 100 km/h.

Kasi rin the 2WD Expd is lower than the 4WD Expd. Kaya more highway biased yung 2WD whereas the 4WD THINKS it can hack it in the rough stuff. ;)
