Seems overkill for a Bronco?

The LT315 /70 R17 K03 is 70lbs per Discount Tire. Heavier but it’s a big tire and still lighter than the AT4W.

I think it’s a hard problem to solve since A LOT of people use them as a desert tire they really need to stand up to abuse in high heat without chunking which a lot of all terrains have a problem with. That’s got to be tough on a tire compound to handle plus being able to stay pliable in bitter...

I’ve driven in the snow in K02s plenty of times and they were fine. We don’t get the shitty cold as fuck ice/slush that you do back east out though. I suspect that K02s are fine in the snow if the weather is relatively warm and just don’t do well in the bitter cold. That’s why you get real snow...

This just not true. My family has used KOs for decades for work trucks out in remote areas and they’ve been fantastic. They aren’t a rock crawling or mud tire but they don’t claim to be. Backwoods or desert camping/fishing like I’m sure a lot of Bronco owners actually do they are great. If...

Ah if you have a good dealer that’s harder. Hopefully you won’t have to deal with the service dept a lot on the Bronco regardless. Stop & go was a must for me too but you can add it to the lux package with Forscan. I did it, took like 20 mins counting getting forscan all set up.

I don’t know that Jeep dealers are much better than Ford dealers in my experience. Personally I’d hold out for a lux package. I’d miss adaptive cruise.

Lame but thanks for the response.

Stock Sasquatch 315/70R17

Any idea when these will be back in stock?

You‘re not wrong but those things reduce fatigue on long drives to the desert which makes it more enjoyable and for me personally I’m more likely to do it. Both those things make it a better Raptor IMO since I’m more likely to use it for what it was built for.

It’s got full speed adaptive cruise and lane centering steering. If you do a lot of traffic or long trips those are big upgrades.

Nice trip! I ran Lippencott with a buddy who had a not lifted 2WD long wheelbase Econoline and he made it. A Bronco definitely can. That being said I did not enjoy it in my Taco, too many ways for expensive body damage or rolling down a cliff.

Ford’s website says evasive steering assist under the lux package. Anyway I don’t want to derail the thread, I appreciate the real world mpg feedback!

Well that’s stupid but thanks for the info. I didn’t think it would be a big deal when I got the Taco but the number of times traffic slows below ~30mph and picks back up is more often than I expected.

Can it bring the truck down to zero then speed back up? My Tacoma cuts off at 25mph which is annoying when you get traffic slow downs.

Wait really? It has evasive steering but not full speed adaptive cruise? Is that confirmed?

I’d much rather something like this… https://goat-truckarmor.com/

I’m also thinking the Aviator drivetrain. I’m ok with that. You can definitely live 20-30 miles from work and use a PHEV especially since a lot of people can charge at work.

I would be in for a PHEV Warthog. EV for most of my driving but maintains ability for long remote trips. People can fight against it all they want but EVs are the future and I can’t wait. Imagine how much nicer cities will be without all the air pollution and noise from traffic. I just wish...
