How do soft-mount suspension subframes improve ride comfort? By absorbing impacts
from the road without flexing during cornering or braking
How do run-flat tires work? Use reinforced sidewalls to support vehicle weight if there's
loss of air pressure
How does rack-and-pinion steering provide excellent feedback and precise control? By
providing a direct connection between all parts of the steering system
What does a spray-on bedliner do? Provides more protection than a drop-in bedliner
