That bottle jack trick was sweet! Thanks for that, I’ll definitely be adding that to my recovery options
I feel like alot of people wouldn't of done as well in a stock f150 on that course.
Very valuable for realistic performance of a stock f150. Thanks man!
Great video and recovery technique with limited resources. A thousand people can tell you a thousand different ways to get the job done but all it takes is one. 🤙🏽
I took my leveled 4x4 with elocker 2012 5.0 F150 out to Glamis with a group of Raptors. I was one worn out 35x12.5x18 Toyos at like 15 psi. Never got stuck. Never used the elocker. I also went up Telescope Peak in Death Valley up like 8000+ft in the winter on an icy trail. These trucks do great offroad.
People tend to forget the raptor was built for the baja 1000 . The most grueling off-road race in the world and it took 3rd !!! Compared to 200k trophy trucks . And everything from the frame in for this model year is the same hell the cv axles aren't even beefed up just lengthened. Compared to what trucks used to be capable of they handle allot . I took mine up to 75 in the pasture in the dead of winter -15 with track control off wheel going 360 everywhere just let her cruise felt it out gave her some juice when she needed it didn't have an issue . And yes there were some jumps lol oh and to anyone talking shit . Mine was slammed into a wall on 169 at highway speeds and she's still cruzin . Twisted the whole driver side suspension up a bit frame still fine fixed it and she's back on the road these trucks will be highly sought after when we get older. Especially with the coyote. Hell I remember hitting a curb at 35 threw the whole front end 4 ft In air . Not a damn thing was wrong . Which was surprising as hell trust me I know sounds asanine but hell it didn't even put a knot in the tire.
damn that was VERY impressive- I know those 4x4 training centers are pretty gnarly in places- Thanks for posting
Nice thanks for sharing the bottle jack technique. Brave taking that pickup on the course.
I’ve a ‘12 F150 5.0 4wd and it has impressed me in every way! 183,000 and only one breakdown when fuel pump went out. I keep her stock with Mickey Thompsons (super perfect for long wear and traction in all weather) and general upkeep / maintenance. Great video, thanks!
Very cool video , I am not going to do this with my 150 if I can help it, but it helps to watch your off road driving just in case need to take it off road.
Nice video, I have a '14 fx4 I havent done much offroading in yet. This looks fun to try in my stock truck with just KO2 tires
You should be fine.
That was great and informative. I bought a used 14 f150 supercrew stock and was curious to know how stock handles. I have a SxS and maybe can take it deeper off road by looking at your video with more confidence. Definitely not getting crazy off road with it, but great to see capability. Thank you.
Nice! Gonna get me a bottle jack! Man I need to get out to prairie city and test my truck.
At 6:10 it gave me some confidence with my HT tires which are almost new. Definitely need AT’s.
Nice video!
I have a 2020 F150 with open diffs, I hope it can handle deep snow. My 2004 was unstoppable, I loved the snow. I am happy to see you do so well with open diffs. Any encouragement / doses of reality are welcome from you or anyone else out there. Thanks and be careful with that jack.
You may wanna consider Eaton Truetrac or rear lockers. It’s not that expensive and well worth the extra security and peace of mind.
@@4x2WagonFamily thanks
@everyday tenor Thanks
Your axle breather tube is torn, cheers mate!
Good stuff
i love the f150 thanks for the video
You’re welcome
Fun to watch, I have a factory long bed Ford that I want to get dirty. Might find some trails near me, maybe on a dry day.
Why dry? The only thing you really have to worry about is getting water up into the intake and that's at the top of the hood. Just be careful not to plow through puddles. Mud washes off. The only complaint about mud I have is riding my motorcycle through deep stuff and getting coated.
Good tips bro
smart man
super sick vid!!! thanking u so many for such a cool test. just wondering: why tires 40psi? i think i will have try lower, especially on street tires. nonetheless, super cool visuals nice truck!! 4 low def better to crawl like u say❤️🔥❤️🔥💯💪👨🌾
Regarding not spinning your tires... I would add a caveat that electronic traction control sometimes takes time to figure out what it needs to do while your wheels spin.
I used to have the same gen F150 but didn't do much wheelin in it. I've been doing more in my 13th gen and it has been great. I'd love a bit more ground clearance but otherwise she's pulled me through better than I expected.
1- you make it flex as if you had lockers
2- you are lucky you didn’t break that leaf spring jacking from there
I like your truck
You could use a high lift jack on the receiver in the back it would do the same thing
I’m actually very surprised that park let you out there by yourself with one truck.
Lucky you didn't damage the truck leaving the handle in.
Would it have been better to use the jack on the rear diff?
I used to jack up my Subaru from the diff. Bottle jacks are definitely useful. They can save you, they can break stuff, they can lift stuff. Super versatile and cheap.
Hi there, the Diff is a great jacking point in most cases, but in this scenario it was too low for my bottle Jack to get under.
The leaf springs was little sketchy because it was angled and it could have slipped off at anytime, but I took a chance and it worked 🤣
Since it has advancetrack: i heard you should instead keep (gently) on the gas pedal to let the traction control do it's brake diff lock job.
Any tought?
Good point. It doesn’t actually lock the Diffs instead it uses the abs to add breaking to the wheel spinning freely and it transfers power to the other wheel that has traction.
This is how every 4x4 and AWD rig works without lockers or LSD. Some work better than others.
285/75 new tires give you more clearance
I think you would grabbed more traction if you aired your tires down to 38-35. It will give you traction and with most F-150s the door air pressure is 35
Do you have lockers or is it Slip differential?
They’re open diffs but the transfer case controls the the traction control.
Fj60 Wagon Family the transfer case transfer power to the front axle. The diffs are what transfer power equally to each side of the vehicle. Open diffs won’t evenly distribute power
I thought traction control on these was done with the brakes
I would have loved a version with just engine and tire noise. No talking.
These come with limited slip differentials?
No, it’s open.
It's an option
I think the fact that you had stock tires and psi didn’t help at all. I’ve taken mine with 33’s Falken Wildpeak and I did a lot better.
Locking Diff ???
Bob Onthis nope!
What trail is this ?
Folsom srva off-road park
Tire size?
285x65x18 Cooper HT:)
@@4x2WagonFamily Thanks, looking to get 275/65/18 falken at3w for my stock height f150, would like BFG ko2's but they are just too heavy at like 57 lbs a tire
swiftbear I got those falkens on mine and they are amazing. Better than ko2 for our trucks in my opinion, since I’ve run those also. Have friends and family running falkens also with bow issues.
@@skylerhead5093 probably gonna be a toss up between those and the Toyo open country AT 3s look amazing too by reviews
Yeah, I'm debating on that too. The Toyo AT3'3 are getting all kinds of praise.
That exactly what you're doing in 4 Low too much torque
What rear end does your truck have. I have a 99 F-150 with 5.4, 3.73 lsd, 3” lift and 315/70/17 dick cepeks. It’ll do everything in this video and then some in 2wd. Oh and it has 240k miles lol
it says in the title it's stock...
@@itskylosolo6070 little late responding LOL but so was mine except the tires
The F150 is not for extreme 4x4 .. rather it is designed for the job, some mud but that's all .. it does not work for sand dunes or mud races
Does very well in sand dunes
These trucks are pretty capable even with an open diff add some 33s a locker and some better bumpers you’re golden
I live in Dubai and I do dune bashing every week! mine is a 2020 XLT and it does really well
Chevy would have walked right over all of that with no issues
Not with bald street Goodyear’s like this truck had.
Lamtitude those tires don’t look bald to me
5 % tread😂
Hank M if you listened to what he said towards the beginning he mentioned that the tires only had 3/32” of tread left and that is visually confirmed at 14:07. Off-roading is all about tires not what brand you’re driving. You see what you wanna see and hear what you wanna hear though.
Lol
