Since most folks don't buy an HD truck to use for hard core offroading, I don't really see that as being a valid point. Most HD's are for work and pulling, and nothing will give you the ride that you get with IFS. It lasts just as long, carries the same payload and rides better than any solid axle. What's not to like? If Dodge and Ford used an IFS, everyone would say it's the greatest thing since sliced bread. Hmm, go figure.
I would consider the construction sites as some hard core offroading.
Obviously, the original poster stating that "No such thing as a hardcore off-roading solid front axle vehicle" hasn't watched the last "King of Hammers" race in the ultra 4 class, IFS and SFA go head to head. 2014 KoH Champ. The winner noted that he needed a truck to make up for his weakness which were the rock crawls. Ultra 4 is an unlimited class.
Not many of us go rock crawling with our tow vehicles.
