          Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System. It allows more wheel travel off road and less body roll on road. Each sway bar is attached to a computer controlled hydrolic ram to allow the suspension characteristics to changed.

                  That's about 1/10th of only the hire fleet and they still don't have enough !!! They turn vehicles over every 12 months with kms between 200-250K !!

                    I see the GX 200 series is out now, not much off a price difference between it and the GXL but i am sure the mining companies that it is aimed at will get huge discounts if they are getting huge orders
