One thing I don't quite follow you on, though, is how the live-axle GM vehicles can handle better than the IRS Fords if the IRS, as you say, is inherently superior. Apparantly, more than just axle and suspension types are involved in handling.
I would say they are a draw. But some don't care if the rear is IRS. I bet solid axle full size SUVs outsell IRS models.Originally Posted by mmarshall

When I was discussing IRS in previous posts, it was in regards to space utilization and tow capacity- I mentioned that explicitly. And yes, there is definitely more to handling than what axle is out back.Originally Posted by mmarshall
