Stock F-150 Testing Off-Road Capabilities // Got Stuck 

People tend to forget the raptor was built for the baja 1000 . The most grueling off-road race in the world and it took 3rd !!! Compared to 200k trophy trucks . And everything from the frame in for this model year is the same hell the cv axles aren't even beefed up just lengthened. Compared to what trucks used to be capable of they handle allot . I took mine up to 75 in the pasture in the dead of winter -15 with track control off wheel going 360 everywhere just let her cruise felt it out gave her some juice when she needed it didn't have an issue . And yes there were some jumps lol oh and to anyone talking shit . Mine was slammed into a wall on 169 at highway speeds and she's still cruzin . Twisted the whole driver side suspension up a bit frame still fine fixed it and she's back on the road these trucks will be highly sought after when we get older. Especially with the coyote. Hell I remember hitting a curb at 35 threw the whole front end 4 ft In air . Not a damn thing was wrong . Which was surprising as hell trust me I know sounds asanine but hell it didn't even put a knot in the tire.

You should be fine.

You may wanna consider Eaton Truetrac or rear lockers. It’s not that expensive and well worth the extra security and peace of mind.

@@4x2WagonFamily thanks

@everyday tenor Thanks

You’re welcome

Why dry? The only thing you really have to worry about is getting water up into the intake and that's at the top of the hood. Just be careful not to plow through puddles. Mud washes off. The only complaint about mud I have is riding my motorcycle through deep stuff and getting coated.

I like your truck

Good point. It doesn’t actually lock the Diffs instead it uses the abs to add breaking to the wheel spinning freely and it transfers power to the other wheel that has traction. This is how every 4x4 and AWD rig works without lockers or LSD. Some work better than others.

Hi there, the Diff is a great jacking point in most cases, but in this scenario it was too low for my bottle Jack to get under. The leaf springs was little sketchy because it was angled and it could have slipped off at anytime, but I took a chance and it worked 🤣

They’re open diffs but the transfer case controls the the traction control.

Fj60 Wagon Family the transfer case transfer power to the front axle. The diffs are what transfer power equally to each side of the vehicle. Open diffs won’t evenly distribute power

I thought traction control on these was done with the brakes

No, it’s open.

It's an option

Bob Onthis nope!

@@4x2WagonFamily Thanks, looking to get 275/65/18 falken at3w for my stock height f150, would like BFG ko2's but they are just too heavy at like 57 lbs a tire

swiftbear I got those falkens on mine and they are amazing. Better than ko2 for our trucks in my opinion, since I’ve run those also. Have friends and family running falkens also with bow issues.

​@@skylerhead5093 probably gonna be a toss up between those and the Toyo open country AT 3s look amazing too by reviews

Yeah, I'm debating on that too. The Toyo AT3'3 are getting all kinds of praise.

it says in the title it's stock...

@@itskylosolo6070 little late responding LOL but so was mine except the tires

Does very well in sand dunes

These trucks are pretty capable even with an open diff add some 33s a locker and some better bumpers you’re golden

I live in Dubai and I do dune bashing every week! mine is a 2020 XLT and it does really well

Not with bald street Goodyear’s like this truck had.

Lamtitude those tires don’t look bald to me

5 % tread😂

Hank M if you listened to what he said towards the beginning he mentioned that the tires only had 3/32” of tread left and that is visually confirmed at 14:07. Off-roading is all about tires not what brand you’re driving. You see what you wanna see and hear what you wanna hear though.

Lol
