I been wanting to ask this question for the longest time now about the suspension differences between the Awd & 4x4, if there really is any?
What I've noticed is that my 03 Monty Awd V8 feels more solid over bumps (as if it where better made) & then when I drive my O3 Expo 4x4 V8 in the same type of conditions it feels as my trim pieces rattle more & the whole truck shakes a bit more (like the suspension is harder). I know that the Awd drive better on curves b/c of the Awd. Or could it be that maybe b/c it's a Merc it has better bushings, struts, etc... Or do all Awd (even Expo's) just have that nice cushy, more expensive feeling, & 4x4 are doomed with that hard rigid feeling of death ?
