They look better in pictures than in person. They have a couple of pretty good scuffs on them and the spokes angle out. They are simple and easy to clean though.

Not yet. These were $300 less than any other set of this style wheel I've seen locally so I grabbed them.

Found some Tundra take off Michelin LTX AT2 tires this week and got them mounted and balanced up. I was even able to buy America's Tire's certificates so now I have a warranty on my used tires :)

I am very happy with the look. It fits the truck and my style way more than the 20" Chrome boat anchors.

Apparently it was white F-150 day at this America's Tire.

[quote=""ChargerX3""]How’s the extra sidewall feel?[/quote] ride is pretty similar because I went from 111 load range to 114. I do notice a bit less steering response, but not worried about it since it's a truck not a sports car.

[quote=""vr4""]Those taillights do look much better[/quote]

Yeah I'm really glad I made that change.

I'm running 265/75/16 on mine. Love the softer feel on rough roads. Same road in the work ranger knocks me around like crazy. In the silverado I feel almost nothing.

Do you even need a truck? I’ve seen zero towing with it?

Nope no towing really but the bed has come in handy for picking up some things for the Baja.

I don’t want the Tahoe. Wife does. I use my truck. It’s put in and out the boat 20 plus times this summer.

Coop[/quote]

He never said he was going to be towing constantly. Just that he wanted the capability should the need arise. Also, you don’t need a truck to tow a boat. Most people don’t need a truck, yet Ford sells 800,000+ F150s a year.

Yeah and I really don't need a truck at all now. I am however enjoying driving it way more than I ever did with the Sequoia. Honestly part of why I bought the Baja was to fulfill the few things I'd prefer to haul in a truck bed. Now it's just something goofy to mess with.
