Again, with an unloaded vehicle on standard suspension on smooth highway, yep awesome ride. Load the thing up and take it out the west coast on the back roads and you can't count the number of times you bottom out per KM. You either need aftermarket suspension or a mod of some sort like supplementary airbags, but to be fair this isn't just a Ford complaint. I also do not like the design of the current model ranger, the uplift on the front corners of the bonnet is an arse for downward visibility over the front end on narrow, steep offroad tracks. You probably won't notice until you hop out of a PX series into the new one, but the vis is definitely not as good over the front end.
