Hey fellas. Hope everybody enjoyed the holidays. Question:
I love my XJ, that's a definate. But I was wondering about the Toyota Tacomas. I know they have a reputation for reliability but wanted to know the real reason/difference for the use of an IFS front end. The Cherokee has a solid front axle, making it stronger than an IFS, correct? What are some advantages/disadvantages of an IFS? I know the HiLux was made with a solid front axle for many years until finally changing to IFS. Does it just make for a smoother ride? Are there more things to go wrong than a solid axle? Easier/harder to work on? All replies welcome.
Happy New Year.
