Growing up in Mexico eveyone still owns RWD trucks and drove in muddy roads. So it can be done but it is true skill and knowing your vehicle are the biggest factors.
Throw a lift on there and some 33’s with a more aggressive tire and it’ll do even more. I leave mine in 2wd a lot just to see what it will do and it’s always more than I expect! 👍🏻
Makes me want to lift a Mustang. Smaller footprint, shorter wheelbase, and lighter mass. Lots of racing trucks are 2WD, too. "Trophy trucks have been traditionally two-wheel drive..."
Yeah some meatier more aggresive RT or MT tires will help you out alot! I have some RT's on my truck and it works like a charm off road. Keep on going! 🙌🏼
I go overlandig with my 2wd 06 Ram 1500, FL, Utah, Colorado, Nevada, California, and the East Coast, is challenging and fun; Just carry an extra 4x4 buddy with you just in case 😅
Half of Africa driving day-by-day on much worse roads than this "offrod park" with old japanese and french cars with million miles in the clock and constant overloaded. Without any fancy jingles.
I hill climb decent hills , like hiking hills , In a 2wd 2006 tundra , few hundred lbs in the bed, falken wildpeak at3w , in 8 inches of snow, on top of a sheet of ice. Just don’t stop
I hunted on Scott Mountain 4 years and several other hunting clubs for over 10 years in my 1981 2 wheel drive F-100 pickup. It had a 4 speed stick in the floor and a 255 V-8 Yup thats right 255 V-8 didn't have any power but got around 18 20 miles per gallon.
the Specifications tab, the HP number for the truck came in right in the middle of the range quoted - 118. And the torque was 206 lb-ft. Compared to the 302's 132 and 232 #'s, it was anemic.
Ok ok ok when you are mudding don’t stop that’s when you get stuck I have an 83 Toyota t100 and once I stop in the mud it gets stuck bc you sink never stop or go slow like you was doin at 14 minutes in the video.
Genuine question for those that have gone off-roading in 2WD, would going to a low gear like on L or 2, be beneficial on a lose surface? Like on sand or loose dirt or maybe even in mud?
I always run my 05 F150 2wd truck in 1st gear when off-roading technical lines. More torque and more power is what you need. I also have 33s and a Detroit Truetrac which is and added bonus
It would definitely help. GMs G80 locker is good to go. The one Ford F-150 I owned for a short time had a manual locker selector, but I never took it off road at all.
One thing you should do is definitely drive on the rocks Use the rocks Tires are super durable off-road Like here 9:40 You should have when more on the right side of the trail where the rocks where also These newer trucks are made of lighter metal in the body’s So definitely get some weight back there And if you off road a lot get some tire spacers Most of the time your not trucking hard enough.
Actually yes I’ve done it in my Colorado 2wd basically acts like a paddles along with the mud grips just gotta be careful if they are Chinese ones they might exploding spinning them and if they catch you won’t have a good time
looks like that ford has less sidewall than the others. offroading should really be done with tires that are higher profile and ofc aired down so they can kiss the ground. i off road in my rwd car with light truck tires and go places others in their trucks can. open diff too, ashamedly. momentum is your best friend in 2wd
Put a wench on front and a removable wench on back. Put a locker in and voila, you can go anywhere as long as it is not in the desert where there is nothing to wench off of.
That was the plan. Originally, was going back and forth between a factory rear locking diff and a Limited slip diff. Both were going to be around $900 for parts. I would say worth it!
@@mosthated8190 better for all around dirt, snow, rain etc. did it when I regeared to 4.11s and done some gnarly 4x4 trails where I shouldn’t belong and owned it. still locks both tires at the right time, when you need it too.
@@apexcorner45 yeah i noticed after looking back you dont have the locker. Impressive the truck the trail with an open diff. Had you had a locker you wouldve been up ther with the 4wds
