But aspect ratio is part of the “radius.” ie On a tire size, the aspect ratio is the middle number (275/70/18). 275mm tread width, 70 is the aspect ratio (to the tread) and 18 is the rim diameter.

This is what makes sense to me in my head.

Still doesn’t make sense to me (I’m hard headed 😂). ie Some TPMS detects an under inflated tire by using the speed sensor. Meaning, if it’s rotating at a faster speed than specified tire size, warning pops up. This is because the effective diameter (or radius) or rolling circumference is...

But decreasing the diameter also decreases the circumference. If I’m thinking about that right. Same tire at 15 psi will sit lower than a tire at 40psi. Effective diameter/circumference will be smaller.

I went through the same quandary years ago and ended up with a 2nd gen Sequoia. It’s my daily driver but I do take it camping in UT, CO, AZ, NV, usually traveling on dirt roads. It’s been great for what I use it for. Lots of space for the family and cargo. And surprisingly capable off road. I...

Yup 👍 I’m a bit more tolerant of delays as I see it as part of the adventure. Machine or man, there’s always bound to be breakdowns. Im not saying I go unprepared. But I refuse to pay $4k for a trophy hitch or custom bumper with so much weight hanging off of it. Chances of failure are minimal...

I’m of the same thought (if the scenario is X size tire won’t fit in the stock location). Slightly undersized tire should get you to a tire shop. You could also slightly increase the PSI in the spare (relative to the other tires) to get the overall diameter about the same.

That would be a nice first drive with the truck! Lots of cool things to see along the way.

You only drive it 2,500 miles per year?

Gas. Either ford and ram would be fine. Chevy is good, too.

I think you can use forscan to put it in Sport mode by default.

Is that only for F150’s or does the SD have it as well?

FYI for those that are curious. This sold for $803k.

I’ve come to really really dislike SxS’s. More so than ATV’s and dirt bikes. They’re like mosquitoes. Everywhere. Best way I avoid them is park at a trailhead and hike in a couple of miles to a camp spot.

I also prefer to keep my trucks as stock as possible so I get it. But a lift and bolting on some skids is pretty easy or relatively cheap to have someone install for you. But if you must get another truck, I’d also look at the F150 Tremor or Ram Rebel. Comes stock with 33’s already and lift...

So why don’t you spend $5k on 2-3” lift rather than $30k+ (Net) on a new truck? Unless you just want a new truck. That’s a different story.

You don’t need a 3/4 ton to pull a 5500lb trailer. Nor would I spend $90k on a Raptor to run forest roads. Your truck, as it is set up, can run 33” AT tires (275/70/18). Just do that, if you haven’t already, and just run it. It’ll tow the trailer just fine. It’ll be fine off road. It should...

😂 I’d MUCH rather have a Hilux than a Taco or 4Runner. What I wouldn’t give for that 2.8 diesel and manual transmission.

Get a volt meter and test the battery. Or a simple change might be easier.

I know you just bought some socks, but I love Darn Tough socks. Made in Vermont. Very well made. Best part - unconditional lifetime guarantee. If you wear a hole in them, they’ll send you a replacement. I have several pairs and couple of them got holes in them from regular wear. True to their...
