They ride like a truck. The washboard surface makes the back end kick to
the right. OTOH on a snow covered road, you can pass everyone. They are
also capable of pushing a mountain of snow, I was quite surprised at just
how big a pile I could push even with nothing in the bed.

If I load about 800 lbs in the back, it rides like a car but takes a bit to
stop even with 4 wheel disk brakes.
