"The road to Scorpion Bay was 2 hours of nastywashboard. It shook this $95k 4x4 Ford apart." I've not made that trip myself, but my brother has many times. The last was also in a new Ford 2 wheel drive van and they lost the exhaust, both front shocks and several assorted plastic items. He has never had an issue getting a VW Vanagon or bus there and back (sep maybe the roasted motor in his buddies 79' bay fighting a headwind back out and into So Cal).
