I went with 20” wheels and swapped the stock Bridgestone AT for a Nitto Ridge Grappler. To me this is the best combo for a 70/30 mix of on/off road.

Personally, I think the 20” AT4 wheels look great imho.  But definitely would give the truck a more aggressive look with a nice set of terra grapplers or ridge grapplers, or any other nice tire.

I have the 20 Inch AT4 rims on Dueler A/T's. The more aggressive style of rim and tires would definitely mean more road noise and a less comfortable ride and I don't want any of that.

Stock size 33”. Wasn’t interested in going bigger on the stock wheel , just wanted a more aggressive tire then the Bridgestone RHS it came with.

 

 

What are the exact dimensions on your grapplers, look great!

I was on the fence when looking. Once I saw them in person and drove them both I went with the 20”. I also agree they look way better in person.

Coming from a ZR2 with the duratracs, there's no comparison with ride quality; the 20" Bridgestone Duelers are amazingly quieter and smoother ride for me at least, and are also nominally a 33" tire, 275/60-20 vs. the 275/65-18 duratracs (32"). I'll eventually move to a 34 or 35 tire size and maybe add spacers for a wider stance, but I'm really enjoying the ride quality compared to my ZR2. May even consider powder coating the stock 20" wheels all black.

I thought the multimatic shocks rode amazing on the road, is that not the case? I haven't rode in a ZR2 but that is what I have heard owners say and reviews, kind of like how the Raptor ride better than the regular versions with the soft off road suspension aimed towards the desert. Was it just the aggressiveness of the tires? 

 

How an off road package has an option for a bigger wheel is beyond me, that is counter intuitive of the purpose of the package. On top of that the larger wheels ride worse and are more expensive to replace compared to the smaller counterparts. Like those jeeps running around with dished larger wheels it just says I bought the truck for the looks not the intended purpose, as no one who goes off road is going to choose the larger wheel and reduce their capability. The last thing I want in the back country is a better chance of pinching a tire to the wheel or the other draw backs (traction, ride, protection) with the smaller sidewall.

    • The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.
    • So I purchased the Range unit for my 2026 and I am seeing different locations suggested for the ECM . Can anyone confirm wither under hood, left side or right side or behind the wheelwell?
    • Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that. 
    • "Life is getting back to normal."    I'm driving again and all new joints are operating as expected for this stage of recovery.   My most recent joint replacement still requires a lot of attention but experience has taught me that time will quiet the remaining pain.  I joked with my surgeon that another joint replacement would take my mind off my most recent surgery and he responded by saying the next will be a hip!  There are no plans for another surgery but, unlike me, I don't think he was joking!  I certainly wouldn't refuse further replacement  if required but hope to spend time out of the "post-op"  period.  I can't stress enough that if you have been recommended for total hip, knee or shoulder replacement that you welcome the offer.  Post-op "recovery" may sound daunting and painful, however, this is far better than the insidious erosion of mobility you are currently experiencing.  Imagine what it would feel like to wake up most mornings feeling better and more mobile than you did the previous day!  Prior to my first surgery in June 2025, even getting out of bed was becoming a formidable task.  Since the day after my first surgery, I get out of bed everyday easily and unassisted.  Making the switch to feeling a little better each day rather than a little worse, is hugely motivating!
