Hi. Thanks for putting this post up . I quite like the look of Dusters. Especially interesting in the film was the way he had the spare wheel mounted on a drop down frame which I haven't seen before. This arrangement could be used to carry stuff at the back like a bicycle.

Personally I like the concept of the Duster 4x4 as a no frills SUV, especially when you get brand named components that you would pay shed loads more under the originators badged motors. Be interesting to know what they did to achieve the auto locking rear diff. The doubt is how well will a 'sensor' controlled drive shaft rear drive system coupled with front wheel drive stand up to the punishment of hard core off-roading compared to a rear solid old school axle system. This would go for any modern 4x4 SUV. That said, for the money involved, still reckon the 4x4 Duster is a worthwhile consideration if thinking of buying a modern SUV.

We're considering one for Gemma she likes the stepway but has poor towing weight.

Met a guy with a Duster equipped with AT tyres at a laning event in the Netherlands.
Nice car, very confident, comparable cheap. But lacking 'some air under the axle'.

Many cabs in Rome Italy, are Dusters actually.

It sits too low to the ground. Needs more air .. needs more ground clearance

Thx RatCav...
I looked at my fronty specs and the ground cleareance is 231 mm vs duster 210 mm (the 4x4 1.5dci version)...
