Mud and our Trucks

How do our trucks peform in the mud? I have been reluctant to get mine in any mud because of the weight of them?

I have had mine in a lot of mud out on job sites. It did O.K. I have not been stuck yet I do have BFG MT's on the truck so this helps. Don't mistake though these are heavy vehicles they do not perform like a little Toyota.

They suck in the mud!!!! till you pull the little lever on the floor, then they do fine. not as light and agile as a little yota but they do ok

Yep, without 4x4 these trucks would be horrible in the mud. I have yet to get mine stuck, but i've got a 4x4.

The key for these rigs are boots. With the stock rubber you could get stuck in wet grass, but with some decent mud tires they go pretty good for their weight.

They go real good if your tires are big and aggresive enough. F and R ARBs will help a TON

Thanks for the replies. With the weight of our trucks i was a little concerned. I guess it is better to be safe then sorry, or have to step out in mud up over your shoes to try to get someone to pull you out, not to mention the embarassment factor.
