i got one but single cab. bout 110-120km on highway expect a drop of speed at hills. im getting a turbo for mine. lux sits higher then the courier extra. my opiniuon is get a lux but that may be somewhat biased opinion. personally thimnk they are a better offroad fourby

Yeah solid axle lux is way to go it won't ride as good but still not bad to drive but off road it'll piss all over the ford/mazda and lock it F&R and you should do most stuff you'll ever want to do. turbo 2.8's go ok but still no race car drive one thats stock then drive a turbo one and you'll notice a differance.
