    If my 430 can make it up my driveway without scraping the front, will a 575 also make it or will the additional overhang be a problem?

    Thanks

    Send me your 430 and let me use it a few weeks and I can tell you.

    I have both and 575 sits higher so much easier in my driveway. I wouldn't pick up my new F430 until the skidplates were installed for that reason!

    My 550 clears everything as long as I take it very slow and at a 45 degree angle, if possible.

    Same here for the 575. I do have to back out, however.

    575 has a much longer front overhang than the 430 so it depends on the shape of the driveway. I found my 550 more difficult than the 430 but my 550 was slightly lowered. In Hong Kong many of the slopes have a sharp line where they go from flat to sloped and that is the worst for the 575. You need to enter the slope at an angle
