It's a beautiful truck with a TON of interior room for the kids and grandbabies, but I'm finding it a tad bit WIDE for many of the tighter Nat forest roads.
The last time I went it was in my '07 jeep wrangler 2 door and if I make it out this year it will be in the same rig. If going with my oldest grandson we will go in his '04 chevy 4 dr. 4x4. Both are in excellent condition. I would prefer to go with him. He can do the driving and carry the caller. Most all of our hunting is under the cap in the sandhills. Thanks to the oilfield there are many roads but some of them are old and in bad shape.
A 1970 Ford flat bed 4X4 gas hog, Suzuki samurai, Jeep wrangler, Toyota 4x4,Toyota FJ,Toyota 2x4,Jeep unlimited all over the last 20 years. My favorite was the suzuki, Should have kept it but it was a cold rig in the winter.
1995 ToyotaTaco, 250,000 miles, 6" lift, flaking paint, 35" mud tires. The big fat tires are the ticket for the sand and it drives like a cat when chained up in the snow or deep mud.
Just selling my 2004 crew cab Silverado 2500hd that I’ve loved for the last 8 years. Mostly on 33 and 35in tires. Factory wheels .
Now I’m driving a 2013 crew cab Sierra 1500 5.3 L 6spd. On road the traction control is a real bonus but off road (snow)I’d equate it to driving a 2wd without weight and 4cyl firing. Once I’ve remembered to turn it off every single time off-road , weighted the rear axle with around 250lbs, lifted front 2in and put on thin Jeep take off 255/75r17 duratracs she’ll do almost as good as my old dmax in most snow conditions and better in some.
