New member here, fresh off the dealer lot!


View attachment 72227

Fellow new NH member as well. Just picked this up from Allen Mello in Nashua today. Definitely a fan of this green. Just the Tow package and Level 2 Equip group for me - and I got the dealer to throw on running boards, as the truck is incredibly tall. Even with me being over 6', it's a bit of an undignified entry/exit, haha.. Love it so far. Doesn't ride near as harsh as I was expecting coming from my Ram 1500, probably the PW package helping out there.

Nice! Two questions. How is your ride w/ the KO2s vs stock? Which rails? Thx, I travel often to BB.
Hey Zoltan, I and the 2nd owner and the truck came with 35" Toyo MT tires when I bought it. The 37" All-Terrain BF Goodrich KO2s that I replaced them with are actually lighter! I can't compare to stock, but what I can say is that the KO2s have been great --- zero regrets. They have been very competent and comfortable traveling on highways and off-road in the Eastern Sierras off California's hwy-395. There's a new KO3 version of the tire that has just come out, so if I was doing it over again today, I might go with that one.

It really is that urgent, eh?!?
Waiting on mgr at a local shop to see about a credit back on the stock Duratracs. Prob Wildpeak AT4, Toyo AT3, or more Duratracs in 35” on stock wheels.
Falken Wildpeaks are a great tire. I had narrowed it down to them versus BFG KO2s at the time. If I was choosing today my top picks for an AT would be Wildpeak AT4W vs. KO3s.

THX @HaraldHardrada -- just got a new PW and I like all the places you go too. 395, BB, Utah! etc.. Not sure if the KO3s are out yet for the stock rims (17"). Did you get new rims for your 37s? I read somewhere that you have get rims with less offset for 37".

@Zoltan My PW is a 17' but I am actually running the OEM chrome wheels from a 16' because they are forged and I liked the look. That said they do have slight rubbing at full lock with 37s. Ideally you want a wheel with +18-27 offset to run 37s on otherwise stock suspension ... at least that is what the folks at Thuren Suspension told me when I was inquiring. Some examples:
