We usually use my dads Tundra for hunting season in Idaho but last week we took the Ranger instead. Not only did it fit better on the trails but I was able to turn around in a spot so small my dad didn't think it was possible. We also smacked his hitch on the ground in a ditch due to the...
Didn't mean to start a numbers war. Lol. Just trying to pass on some information. The dealers here seem to have lots of Rangers in stock and end of year incentives are pretty good.
Sold my Mustang to a local dealer and while there I asked about their Ranger sales numbers and they weren't good. This is in the heartland of Idaho farm country where everyone needs the big trucks but he said the price point on the higher end Rangers i.e. Lariat is turning people off. I know...
Preliminary results for mileage are disheartening to say the least. With stock tires I got 22.6 at 80 mph but with these tires it dropped to 20.1 at 80 mph. Since the larger tires mess with the odometer I just had to trust Google maps for the distance. I expected some loss but 2.5 is quite...
They picked a Sabre for the comparison pic in this article about mid size truck sales!!
Guess we know which color is the best.

Wrangler Duratrac 255/75R17. Definitely not a "skinny" tire on this truck. At 30 psi they are wider than advertised. I'll air them up for every day use. No clearance issues at all. My truck is not lifted. Would have went 255/80 but all tires in that size were E rated and I rarely tow. C rated...
In my experience OEM tires are built to lesser specs and are CRAP. My Dad purchased a 2018 tundra and it only had 4 ply tires. 4 ply tires on a 1/2 ton pick up is just a cheap way out by Toyota. We blew a tire while hunting and the local tire shop had no 4 ply replacements because no 1/2 truck...
I'm sure these tires are fine for a DD and mild off road use but they are not AT tires and I can obviously feel the difference. I'm not trying to dis hankook, just trying to let people know the limitations of the tires so they don't end up stuck in the boonies. Lol
Went to another part of the dunes today and used the terrain management for the sand. Tires still suck but i noticed the TM kept the truck in a lower gear so the revs stayed up which kept power going to the wheels even at lower speeds. And it didn't skip gears when shifting.
Would have been a...
My pre collision has alarmed at least four times on me in the first two weeks I've owned it. I think every time it's when I'm accelerating to pass someone. It's unnerving because I keep waiting for it to slam the brakes on and throw me through the windshield.
