Anybody feel ripped off over all terrain tires?

My truck was listed as having all terrain 20" tires with the 20" rims...NOT

Tires are passenger tires, not even light truck tires, Goodyear Wranglers clearly stamped m/s...what a rip off.

Debating going to local Discount tire and seeing if they will make a deal to put some real tires on my truck.

Very few 1500/150 trucks come with LT tires. Been that way for ages. But you are right that the tires on all the new GM trucks are pathetic highway tires. My first stop would be new rubber too.

Mine came with Bridgestone Duellers :dunno:

Really? ATs or something else? All the ones I've seen are the bogus Wranglers the OP mentioned.

Bridgestone Dueller A/T RHS. There was a $220 upcharge on the window sticker though.

Almost all half ton 4x4 trucks come with crappy tires unless you get something like a Tundra with TRD rock package or jeep rubicon, nothing new.

There has definitely been a transition on GM trucks to more highway biased tires. Ram has a few trims with legit all terrains, Ford used to (I haven't paid enough attention to the 2015+ trucks). My 2011 came with Dulers or whatever they're called and that was a decent OEM AT tire.

Yeah but that generation F150 the FX4 was actually a trim level and not a package and those were good tires. Don't remember what exactly but I liked them.

I can't speak for GM but I've been told by a reliable source that the Rancho shocks on Fords are just the same shocks with pretty paint and stickers. Haha

Goodyear Wrangler what? There are probably a dozen different sub models. Most of the trucks had SR-As which are just a highway tire.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.
