At first it kind of settles your nerves going slower than everyone else because you have to. After a while you may wish for a little speed. Most people do, just read the forum for a while. Everyone wants more power and speed and then more brakes because they have more power and speed. Then when the big tires go on power steering is desirable. The WC 1/2 ton is the most comfortable to drive A. soft ride (relatively speaking) B. roomy cab with great leg room and no hump on the floor. The M37 has the next best ride and the cab is still quite comfortable. The WM300/W300M is the most uncomfortable. A.It is sprung the hardest. It was MADE TO HAUL. I put 4700 pounds in mine and the rear of the box only went down 4 1/2 inches. Somebody told you the M37 was tougher, well not in that department. you need 2 ton in it to get any kind of ride. Perhaps the worst part is where they put the gas pedal up on the hump. Hey,I guess it could have been put on the dash. I have and drive all 3. they each have their own redeeming factors. The parts for the M37 are still relatively easy to get and less costly. That is changing and the prices are going up. My advice is to get the one you want but don't get rid of your regular wheels just yet. Good Luck and have fun.
