Spent yesterday afternoon in the Laramie Range south of Casper, WY. I am impressed with the trail mangement features of this truck. Hit 27 degrees per the inclinometer on a combo of mud, loose rock, and some slab. It just walked right up. It is stock except for BFG KO2's in 265/70/17 in a C load rating. My previous truck was a 2011 Frontier Pro4x. It was fine but with the trail control features there is no comparison. Somrthing else I really like is the ability to use the locker in 4 hi and 2wd. couldnt do this with the frontier only usable in 4lo.

Had a quick run up the mountain with a few local guys yesterday. GLaDOS looks super small in stock config compared to the lifted counterparts.

Took a little offroading trip this morning. I flexed this stock XLT to the max... just tires and skills. No need for traction control, just a good spotter and know your trucks limits. Ford made a beast here, more to come. Here are some photos, sorry about the jeep pic, but anything they can do we can do better. Link from my brother in laws Youtube page.

Nice job on the descend. Going downhill always made my butt pucker just a bit more. You came close to needing rock sliders to prevent you going against the walls. The flex and disconnects on the Jeep really help but the Ranger did well considering it didn't have the same setup.

Sliders would be great, seen people slip right into those walls before. I just took it slow and let the tires do their job.

Found the limits of my tires and 4WD system this weekend. Wayne National Forest - Marietta Unit



Here's me noping out of a trail that was pretty out of my league. The mud-rut terrain mode saved me here. Need better tires and eventually a winch. But honestly, a lot of these trails are for small mud running Jeeps and are just leftover gas well and logging access roads.

Knowing when not to proceed is pretty important, especially since you appeared to be running solo. Those trails needed a little chainsaw love.

Yeah, a BUNCH of bad storms recently so everything was still wet and a lot of washouts on the roads nearby.
