Obviously a V6 helps with the recommendation to drive slowly and carefully. I manage to get by with the 4 cylinders in my Toyota pickup. But then, I don't try to drive slowly and carefully. I tend to enjoy the berms on the dirt roads, convincing myself that they will keep me on the road if I slide a bit around a corner. I also subscribe to the belief that the best way to survive the washboard roads is to float over the top of them. 45-50 MPH seems to me a minimum on roads like Saline Valley and Racetrack.
