Just now, Lucafu1 said:I'm a Ford fanboy. IMO a solid front axle is awesome. Both of the powertrains are good but Chevy messed up with their stupid DEF tank hanging so dang low. I would not want to chance taking it offroad too much.
Oh, good point. I didn’t even think about that. I’m a ford guy too, so I’m with you. I just assume all bigger trucks suck off-road though and if one is demonstrably better off-road, it would get the nod

And diesel and gas engines will perform differently off-road, so I’m not even sure what your original point is

Oh, so sorry... didn’t want to write out 3/4 ton throughout my post. Thanks for the technical correction. I get there are half ton diesels now, but my guess is the majority of people know what I’m referring to when I said diesel. Thanks for the valuable input.

I may regret starting a debate, but would love some input... I need a bigger truck, but am terrified that I’ll hate a diesel for off- road and hunting. Looking at crew cab, short bed 250s and 2500s. I’m looking at 2017-new. Here are some questions.
1.) for those of you who have gone from a half ton to diesel, how bad is the drop off in off-road capability? Did you hate the change?
2.) what are the pros and cons for the ford straight front axle vs GM’s independent front suspension? Which is better off-road?
3) don’t worry about telling me about dodges, lol
thanks in advance

I’m still trying to find a pair of 15s for my buddy. He’s got $1,800 to spend.

Just look in the areas where the bulls shed their antlers and you’ll find horns.

I highly recommend tri-city transmission!

Can’t vouch for Danner but my Nevadas fit true to size compared to Ariat.

Bump. Hoping to buy these as a Christmas present

Would like to find a pair in good condition

I know virtually nothing about it. I bought it new one day to do the night coyote hunts in unit 10 and got stuck in the mud on my way out and never tried to go again. It’s been sitting in the safe ever since. When I get home I’ll take a closer look and let you know.

Yes, Tempe.
i think they have plans on building them for lots of different trucks but just started with the newer Chevys and Fords.
-
Yeah, I enjoyed working with them.
Its a rough country exo winch mounting system. They just released them a few months ago.

My girl got bolt-ons!
I rarely feel compelled to share my experience with businesses I use, but I can’t say enough good things about BDM Customs! They are honest and knowledgeable people who do great work. I discussed this setup with a few shops around the valley and was irritated by the fact nobody could justify their quotes with math that made any sense at all. I spent five minutes on the phone with Jason at BDM and got a fair quote with line by line detail. it’s very clear they’re not shady or trying to up-sell you. I highly recommend them. As a bonus, they support and donate to Arizona Elk Society and various hunting groups that serve disabled vets and kids.

Thanks everyone! I ended up going with BDM Customs. I appreciate the input
-
Will do. Thanks!

Looking to get a bumper with a winch and light bar for my truck. Anyone have a good recommendation on a shop in the valley?
