Major pain anyway.... ;-)

Figure how soft the suspension is and how much a full tank of gas and/or

Mine really doesn't like to run empty and door ant topless, it will
vibrate on the highway. With a load like for camping or vacationing or
in the winter with the hardtop and hard doors on it runs really smooth.
