Need Advise: Road Trip to and from Mindanao

[jut703]

That's a fun trip and if I have the time I'd do the same, but only if I have a ladder-frame SUV. The roads in Samar and Bicol alone are enough to wreck the suspension of a fully-laden sedan.

Hahahah, sa haba nung ruta dapat isama sa list ang PMS before the trip and PMS after the trip.
Ang sarap libutin ng Pilipinas!
Now, how do I save up for that yellow FJ Cruiser?

Roads are good enough for sedans. Someone already drove a Hyundai Genesis from Manila to Davao.

Yes I've seen that thread. But my firsthand experience just last week of driving a sedan with people and luggage through the crap roads of Andaya Highway was very uncomfortable, compared to my trips before with a pickup.

I'm not saying hindi kaya, I'm just saying it's torture for a sedan's soft suspension, and for the backs and bums of your passengers.
