We love our 2003 Yukon XL that we bought 3 years ago from the original owner, it's the heavy half ton version and tows our boat very comfortably, the multi-function heated seats are sweet after a cold day on the boat or out hunting. That being said we will be selling it and going back to another...
Yeah, I have zero sympathy for sheeple who aren't smart enough to watch where they are walking, pretty sad if a person can't get from point A to B without staring at their electronic leash.
I personally feel that ARB bumpers and similar frame mounted bumpers make up such a small percentage that the "hitting a pedestrian" argument is a moot point, not to mention that rigs set up as such are seldom driven in densely populated areas in the first place.
I would start with skid plates since the body already sits higher than the belly/undercarriage and is more vulnerable. As for tires I would opt for some 255/85r16's, this way you gain clearance/height but not much added weight/rotational mass and can get by with stock gears.
Millions of off road rigs have covered billions of miles with lug centric wheels, we had them on two Jeeps that had the snot beat out of them, you will be fine.
And there was a thread on the Kenda tires a week or two back, here you go https://expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/kenda-klever-r-t.209066/#post-2690874
Food for thought, pull all of the fuses to make sure the spades are clean and reinsert, reason being you can have reduced current flow but still have a visibly "okay" fuse. I was having an issue with my warning chime not working if I left the lights on and key out, all fuses appeared to not be...
Looks like I have narrowed down my next truck to a 2009 to 2013 f150 supercrew with 6.5ft bed, this will be used for towing our boat and have a lightweight popup slide-in camper. I have read that the 6-speed auto made a big difference with the 5.4, and that it has more low end torque than the...
Ha, I remember the first time I got a tire in the air, it felt weird coming from Jeeps with tons of suspension travel but after you get used to it you can predict when a tire lifts.
Yesterday I took the boat out and my buddy suggested we take his truck, it's a 2011 XLT with the 5.0 and 6.5 foot bed. He knows I have been researching trucks and had me drive his truck, all I can say is I love the tow/haul mode, had plenty of power to tow the boat and the programmed engine...
I bought my last 3 vehicles from the original owners with full service records, and I used to do vehicle inspections, so you could call me an educated consumer.
