They had zero traction in snow, too; just put it in drive and it would just spin the tires at idle. It's been super rainy here, and driving it like I did with the old tires, I could not get them to break loose. I've been impressed by the AT's on mine so far, no really bad mud or anything too deep, but on soft dirt and rocks, it's gone everywhere I've asked it. Just need some more ground clearance, as my breakover angle isn't great. Laid frame topping a steep hill last weekend and had to back down.  |

These are a rough terrain, supposedly a cross between an AT and MT, and are also all-season rated. |

I've been looking at the Toyo R/T Trail, but after seeing some Yokohama g003 in action, I'm thinking of swapping. |

Glad to see this thread still running strong after almost 10 years. Kids and a stay at home wife have put a pause on my string of nicer, 3/4 ton diesels, and I've been driving this used '21 F150 for the last few years. Fairly loaded XLT, FX4, 5.0. Now sporting a set of 285/60r20 Toyo RT Trails and soon to have a leveling kit and Ranch Hand full replacement. Attached File |

Attached File Lost my dad almost two years ago. Didn’t have the room to get one of his trucks but finally picked it up today. 94 f150 4x4 5.0 Almost no gauges work. The steering is loose. It has zero power. I love it. Only one owner that wasn’t my grandpa, dad, or I. (Dad and I swapped it back and forth a bunch). Grandpa used it to check cows and his go to town dance truck. Drove it to college one day and slid off the road. Locked the hubs and crawled right out. Called my dad and his first concern was the truck He had very steep hills on his property. One day it had rained we were driving it down a hill and it started sliding. Somehow the guy managed to miss two telephone poles at the end of the driveway while sliding. He never blinked or showed any kind of fear. Still one of the craziest things I have seen. |

Decided it was time to get rid of my 19 Supercab Ranger, it was a good truck, needed a 4 door as my 86 year old mother just can't get into my Jeep anymore, it's just too tall. A semi local GMC dealer had a sale going with a good price on a AT4 Canyon that they had on the lot for a couple of months so I took a drive up to take a peek. Made the mistake of telling them after we had decided on OTD price that I'd just be cutting the check for the remainder after trading in my Ranger so they lowballed the shit out of the offer on the trade in. OK finance that, you guys will get your spiff and i'll sell it for what I wanted in trade in a couple of days ( sold it to another dealer straight up for 1k more than I was going to ask for from the GMC dealer ). Had the GMC for two weeks now, first payment deal showed up, paid the rest and that's that. Did the 33s on Methods a hard rollup tonneau cover and have the Icon coilovers sitting in the garage for a slightly cooler day for install. Pretty happy with it, the interior is so so much better than the Ford.  |

Screen shot from the GoPro as we pulled up. I don't think I could see the stump from the driver's seat. Attached File Of course the GoPro wasn't running when we drove onto the stump. |

Attached File For those familiar with Silver Lake State Park, we drove from the north end of the park to the south end over all the dunes, including Test Hill, in 2WD. Tire pressure was set to 15psi. I'm very impressed with this truck. My JKR was not nearly as good in the sand (tires usually set to 12psi). I'm sure the Jeep would be better in rocks and tight trails. |

I think yours gets a bit more skid protection if I remember right. Dented the trans fluid pan. Haven't decided if I will take it off and straighten it out yet or not. Skid Plate is slightly bent at the back end. I got lucky. |

2019 Tacoma Attached File 2003 Ram 2500 with a 5.9 Cummins. Picked it up just before New Years with just over 132k on it. Already put a 825hp rated 48RE in it in preparation for compounds.  Attached File 1984 F150 XLT that my great granddad ordered in 1983 as a retirement gift to himself. I built and swapped in a ~425hp 351 Windsor and Tremec TKX. Attached File |
