Calvin,

They don't ride that much rougher, because despite the short wheelbase, the tall tires in the front roll over rough terrain better than the shorter 2wd tires. Besides, if the wheel base was longer on the fwa, they'd never get turned around.

I've got my feature on the 2255 for the next issue of the magazine done, and I was able to come up with some production numbers, among other things. I won't give away the ending now, but there weren't as many 2255s made with front wheel assist as I would have guessed.

Hope you are getting dried out.
