It weighs a lot and digs through the mud takes some tug to get it out. Hidding behind that powerstroke is a sinking Jeep that I was attempting to remove before I dug too deep a hole to touch bottom.

Nice truck. I'm not a huge burb fan, except with big tires. That is one beastly rig.

Around town the 3.73s are fine. On the highway it struggles to go any faster than 65-70 with out constant shifting out of Overdrive. On the trails they working quite well in 4 low, just the right amount of wheelspin to get the mud 30 feet into the air. I'd really like something deeper, but we have only had the truck about a month so in stages.
