Depends upon conditions. Down here in loose sand, the Rangie/Disco has an
advantage in traction control over a stock series. The Rangie/Disco
driver can be
sipping a cup of tea in the AC while the Series driver needs both hands
on the
wheel moving it back and forth to keep a grip on the sand. Should this
occur at the top of a "hill"
or "dune", the series driver will find himself backing down and looking
for a new route :-)
Installation of some form of limited slip will resolve this difficulty.
