I saw and test drove an 1100c today, fortunately it was orange so I have time to think about it. I liked the new 2 speed transmission it ran between 17-18 in low. Had enough power in high to go up loading ramp. Suspension has multiple load settings. Front and rear a arms are cast iron. Bed is 6 inches shorter and 4 inches wider. Cab is the same as the old 1100, front window no longer will tilt out. Roll up windows are an improvement. Leg room is the same. Tilt wheel and parking brake location better. Dash overall seems a little less quality, radio pod is now in the roof. I think the new tranny and independent suspension are solid improvements .
