I have to totally agree with Sue. I understand that its a truck and won't feel or drive like my Izusu Axiom for example. But my real truck (stock Chevy) is able to negotiate nasty, bumpy, washboard roads with little or no impact on the coffee cup between my legs. Even though I account for the short wheel base of the VX and try to drive accordingly, its a 5 mile an hour (or less) creeping along drive. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that this vehicle is either mis-engineered or intended for paved road use only.
