Take a look at nitto terra grapplers ....i put them on my leveled 07 2wd and they look great imo. Rugged but also great on the highway...no hum at all.

I actually made them. I got some scrap black vinyl from my friend's graphics/sign shop, cut out some black X's and covered up the red X's on the stock decals. It took a few tries before getting them perfect. Sometimes I'm so creative I scare myself.

Well this is kind of a subjective question. Most people don't seem to like mud terrains in the winter. But I've been running them year round for several years on my DD Bronco and I don't have a problem with them. I ran the F150 a few times last winter with Trail Graps and I didn't have any problems with them either. So I guess it comes down to what you are used to. To me M/Ts are much better in the winter than the 4x2 truck I drove 30 years ago with snow tires and weight in the back. Maybe the people that don't like M/T's in the winter are in more of a hurry than me?

I've seen a guy run 305/55/20 (33")Terra Grapplers on a 4x2 and claimed he had no rubbing. But the Trail Grapplers run a little taller so I wouldn't dare to recommend that size in a Trail Grappler without a leveling kit.
Is this the truck you saw with Trail Grapplers?



Hmmm I was considering the 295/60R20 Trail Grapplers, do you think they would work if I had the Bilstein 5100s set 1 inch higher up front?

I have 285/55R20 Toyos now and was looking for a bit more sidewall.

I wish Nitto or Toyo would make a 285/60R20 AT but no such luck... yet. Only Goodyear so far.

I worry about the weight of the Trail Grappler. The 295/60R20 is @ 77lbs! My Toyos are @ 52.

They probably would fit. The worst case scenario is: you may need to trim a little plastic.
