Is better for off road, generally, but isn't so good on the road. Evidently they were okay performers off road.
I had a 67 Landcruiser. Good off road. Not so comfortable on roads unless glass smooth. Short wheelbase, narrow track, high cg, harsh springs. Power stearing by armstrong and a ships wheel. The good was the slow stearing ration meant it was hard to react quickly and put it on its side.

These things are just ridiculous.
