Are these the best all around tires for your truck? #bfgoodrich #camping #diesel #towing #ram
In this video, I'll tell you and show you how these tires have held up, how they've worn down, what I've liked about them, and what I wish was a little better.

Where’s the seasons for the food ? Gotta put slap ya mama seasoning on it! Or at least salt and pepper
Haha I guess maybe I didn’t show that part 😂 salt, pepper, and the green chili and cheese are the main flavoring for that Dutch oven breakfast.
Feel your pain bro. Couple years back, bought my father a brand new 22 diesel 2500, been in the shop non stop. Dealership is clueless about it.
Dang man, sad to hear. Such a nice gift too, would be nice to have the experience be on point.
I put 35x12.5x20 General AT3 on the same wheel. The nobbies brush the dust off is all that happened. I couldn't feel any rubbing, but i did see what you saw. No off road package, and I don't go off-roading. Our trucks do cost a lot of money. It's not a jeep for sure.
I’ll have to check out those tires, good to know those 12.5” wide tires will fit on the stock rims.
Pavement princess. Get out and use it for what its made for
what's the true bedsize? 6 ft or 7 ft?
Either 6’5” or 6’7” can’t remember exactly. I’ll measure later and come respond again.
Any extended warranty or has it given u any problems?
@Tkh21209 I almost lemon law’d it at one point. Began the process but took a cash settlement since the issue was fixed. I made a whole video series on it. Bad PCM. Over two months to fix. But, I’ve put 45k miles on it after that repair and it’s been solid.
That's your fault for keeping DEF on it
Haha can’t go voiding my warranty just yet 😂
10. FOR. BOTH. CHEVY S, 😊😊
Chevy really nailed it with this era of vehicles didn’t they!
Concise and thorough, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching 🙏
Yes Def is corrosive!🤢🤮🤑 Buy a older one and DELETE EVERYTHING! It basically eats it's own shit! ,💪👍🔥
Yeah definitely not good for the engines. Really makes that gunk build up
You are lucky to be alive dude! Not because of the age of the truck but of the tires on the trailer, your steer tires and trailer brakes.
Haha yeah things definitely could have gone worse considering those factors!
I know this is an older video but you’re absolutely right and good on you man. If I spend $100k or even $50k on a new truck you should be able to expect that thing to perform as such. Especially when you have your family and everything else in your life involved. It isn’t just a big purchase that looks nice but sits on a shelf or in a garage and collects dust, people depend on these vehicles for their daily lives and their businesses and livelihoods and they need to do better. I just want to add that I think we’re going to be seeing more and more of these issues with every vehicle and manufacturer out there (which has already begun to be the case as far as I can tell) just due to the rapid changes and demands in environmental regulations and technology “upgrades” that companies absolutely cannot perform proper multi-year runs and tests of equipment, when models and chips and technology including entire engines and drivetrains in a lot of cases are drastically and significantly or completely changed year after year there is no possible way to narrow issues down to a pinpoint between model years and sister vehicles. I am betting everything on that being the case for the next decade or more and so I plan on holding on to my and my wife’s vehicles for as long as humanly possible because there is no way with inflation and vehicle prices continuing to go up as they are that I am putting my finances and livelihood in the hands of companies that are quite simply regressing rather than progressing in terms of reliability and quality, all in the name of “making progress”. (Ironic). They are quite literally doing anything but making progress, much of it is government interference and mandates so not all the blame can be put on manufacturers at all, but regardless something needs to change because the state of vehicles these days are getting absolutely ridiculous in so many ways, whether it’s the cost or just the technology and lack of ability to do proper refining between models and years of vehicles, the quality and reliability is just not possible. Love both of our vehicles and all I recommend is staying away from anything that changes too rapidly, because with that there is no chance for refinement and real reliability progress, it’s all just complete luck whether they get something right or not.
Stealthpanda you said it perfectly. The government interference, the backwards slide in the name of “progress” and everything else. Aside from this Ram we just bought a telluride with a v6, excited because everything else is going 4cyl turbo. Hoping to have both of these cars for a VERY long time. There’s already been some government mandating effecting them, but way less than most current things.
Geez why even take that truck out with bald tires and overloaded…not safe. 4 little kids on a massive road trip. Hats off to you guys for that stress.
The tires weren’t bald when we left. Fixed a bearing and put some new tires on two of the wheels, other wheels were at half treadlife. Turns out the problem wasn’t fixed so those half tread tires wore out fast, but tried to be careful and also knew how many miles we had left so knew we’d make it ok.
@@gavinwalker5686 crazy!
At least it was your own doing that caused the damage and it was while doing something awesome with the family. My first damage on my Ram (bought new) came from the dealership and they dented my drivers side rear quarter panel right on the feature line by the gas cap. Big ass dent in a terrible spot for trying to get out. Still makes me angry, and mostly because I wasn’t the one who did it. Point being, just be thankful you have a cool story and some character to go along with the damage lol
Haha dude I love that mindset. 🤙🏼 and you’re totally right, I’d be way more mad if that scratch came from some rogue Costco cart instead of by my own doing, while making cool memories 😅
Lots of ‘22 Rams with issues.
Yeah there is, but most other options I was looking g at are also having a lot of issues, so that helps me feel better 😂
Roller lifters look out 👀
How about we stop buying this trucks until they fix this bs.
I feel the pain my 17 duramax is jus sitting in my driveway tired of putting money into it dam def
Yeah I’ll bet the 2017 systems are a lot worse than the current ones too. Still getting the kinks worked out. Ever since my new PCM, the system seems to be working pretty good on my Ram. I’ve driven it another 45,000 miles since then.
Nice review Gavin
Thanks!
Definitely needs more seasoning and some protection from that deflection plate. Add another pan and raise the grate up some smoke low temps for a few hours first then work your way up to about 270 until you like the bark and wrap and finish it then let it rest for another few hours in a warming oven at 140 until serving. I usually start my brisket early afternoon and serve it around dinner the next day.
Awesome, thank you for the tips!!
Beautiful video, great views and a great family
Thanks Leonard! Sure was a fun trip!
*DAAAAMIIIT SON,..YOU GOTTA TRUCK THAT WOULD MAKE A PRIEST KICK OUT A STAINED GLASS WINDOW JUST TO GO FOR A RIDE!!!* I just got me a 2021 power wagon in granite crystal clear coat with less than 8000 miles on it and if I can make it look like this I'll be a happy boy!!!!💁♂️🤷♂️😎
Hahaha I love the analogy! 😂😂 Your power wagon can get these same mods and you’d be even more capable because you’d have lockers and a disconnecting sway bar! I hope you build it up!
One thing I will never buy again in this country is *anything diesel* I needed a new truck to replace my 2004 2500 Cummins and I bought a 2500 Power Wagon with the 392(6.4) HEMI just so I wouldn't have to deal with this catpiss drinking bullshit *EVER AGAIN!!!!*
They are dropping the KO3 see if they have your size dropped yet they seem like they redesigned the tread pattern as well as seems like they changed the composite of the tire
I’ll definitely look at those too more in depth. I did notice the tread pattern looks like they improved it! I didnt know the compound changed too!
Those BFG KO2s are a beast
Yeah they really are a great tire.
Delete your truck problem solved.
Just installed a pair on my 2023 Power Wagon. Heavy weight, heavy duty. Follow instructions, and get a 3/4" Crow Foot if you don't have one. Had mine sprayed with Line-X prior to installation. Build to last!
Awesome! Coating them is a good idea! May as well add that extra layer while it's easy to! I'm jealous you have a power wagon! I'd have bought that had one been available when I bought this! I do like the cummins (now that the pcm is good) but still, I'd rather have that off road capability than the towing and mpg.
Delete and tune is the only solution
It's not off the table, I'd definitely wait until my warranty expires at 100k miles. I'm about half way there now.
Our 2012 Sienna has 260k still fires right up and rides better than most vehicles I have been in
Nothing like that old school toyota reliability. Sad to hear what's happening to their newer engines.
Well it’s an easy fix dump all that garbage get on some ram forums and pick up a kit for weight loss
Just bought a Power Wagon but was looking at Rebels. A friend with a diesel warned me to not get one. I'm as happy as a pig in sh!t with my gasser!
What about with the hemi issues? Just saying....
I love those power wagons. If one of those would have been available back when I bought mine, I’d have picked that over my Cummins.
My 5.7l powerwagon gets 10 mpg with a trailer and small Bobcat.. 75mph or so 120kmph for us Canadians
That’s not too bad while towing at that speed.
Still rocking my ‘06 Cummins. It’s old enough to vote 🔴 Tows my 5th wheel perfectly.
Just bought a DRW 3500 silverado. Was looking at a 2023 Dually Ram with 10 miles on it. They were selling for 54k at huntington beach ram. All these videos scared me out of it and spent the extra 10k on a Chevy. That price was enticing though
Hey Gavin, I just watched your video and I must say that it was really informative and well-made. I was wondering if I could help you edit your videos and repurpose your long videos into highly engaging shorts? I can also make high CTR thumbnails for your channel
I’d be interested in chatting more about that.
Hello, I have a doubt - When you have a cash and keep offer what happens to the remainder of the loan ?
The loan is still in place. They simply give some cash compensation as an apology for the headache. The factory warranty remains in place as well, you simply cannot make another lemon law claim if any more repairs are delayed significantly.
Can you fit a 35 inch spare under the bed ?
That’s a great question! I just climbed under there and I’m going to say maybe… it’s pretty tight. The truck tires that came on it were 33.5” tall, I can’t recall the size and ratio, but came with 20s. The spare is 275/70R18. Roughly the same but smaller wheel. I think you could squeeze a 35” but the tire might be making contact with the backside of the receiver.
Why are these trucks so fucked uo all the time lol.. one truck can fit 35x12.5x20 on stock wheels and another can’t fit a metric smaller size
My metric size is technically a 35.1” height, and I know that some 35s are actually more like 34.5” true size. I know that’s how the KO2s are. I am in the market for new tires in the next 4-5k miles, asking discount tire which brands make a 12.5 wide that can fit on my rim and they say none of them do. The rim is a little too narrow, so I’m not sure why other tire shops are throwing 35x12.5s on there 🤷♂️ but no one has seem to have had issues.
I love all these new trucks. I would love to buy one. I’m just setting here thinking my 1995 power stroke has been paid for for twenty five years. Shit it still runs great. Hell I rock out to 4 6x9s and two twelve inch kickers as I roll that old girl around. I’m like I don’t think I will ever pull the trigger on a new truck.
I’ll tell you what these new trucks are expensive. I bought a new one but my goal is that in 25 years I’ll be talking about how I’ve enjoyed a paid off truck all that time too!
For future reference, don’t switch between power levels on the truck. The 68rfe transmissions are self learning and take a few hundred miles to “learn” the tune. Also , locking out 6th gear will save a 68rfe transmission.
Thank you!
That looks like San Bernardino area. Where are you?
Utah, American fork area
40 is aired down? I guess my frame of reference is different because my tires are 65 tall and my truck is only 4,000 pounds but i have never aired mine up past 30 and that was just the rears to tow my camper. Rides way smoother at 25psi.
Haha yeah 40 is still pretty high but rams run at 65 normally. And, I’ve still got the factory 20s so I don’t have near as much sidewall as I’d like. Didn’t want to push the psi too low when I was unfamiliar with what it can do and I was so far from civilization with 4 little kids lol You have 65s on a 4000 lb truck? That thing must be unstoppable off road! What truck is it?
Sorry buddy, they're not great. U can air down to 13 psi ez. Tacoma does it, if you're sending it crazy, u might burp some air but np
That’s good to know! I was amazed at the ride quality difference off road simply going from 65 -> 40. I don’t think I have enough sidewall for 13, but I’ll push it to 25 next time at least.
Also, while they did much better aired down a little in the mud, I do anticipate that the wildpeak at4ws that I’m looking to get next will be better AT tire in the mud.
I am going through a lemon right now.. I am getting an offer for repurchase but I may owe some based on mileage.. I am wondering if the cash and keep they give is around half the value??
I can’t say what I got, but it was no where near half the value of the truck. But it was a fair compensation for the time and hassle of not having a truck for over two months. But, I felt my issue was fully fixed with the new pcm, so I was ok to keep the truck. If your issue isnt one that can be clearly fixed, and you think you’ll have recurring issues, the repurchase may be the right thing for you. Definitely give it some thought.
I got waaaay more on my Cash and Keep than the buyback. 2x as much. On my 2023 silverado
@lifeofdnj1436 yeah way better option! What issue was going on with it before? And how’s it been doing now?
@gavinwalker5686 all sterio and dash would black out still play music at full volume, couldn't adjust volume and even when shutting off car it would stay on and drain battery. It would just balck out
@lifeofdnj1436 hahaha dude that’s wild that it would blast music even when it’s off 😂 but yeah that’s no good, gotta get that fixed for sure.
I've been running ko2 on my 2013 f150 since I got it. They are a great tire and good for all seasons.
I’ve definitely been happy with how well they’ve performed. By the time I will get new tires, this pair will have exceeded the manufacturer warranty by five or 6000 miles on all my vehicles, and any other tire I’ve ever run, I’ve never met the manufacturer warranty so definitely happy with how these things have worn down.
I’ll need new tires soon, thinking about giving the new Falken Wildpeak AT4Ws a try…
Those mirrors are the best, I hate the new mirrors
Never used them, I wondered about how people like them.
What’s the issue with it?
Ended up just being a bad PCM, but the errors in the PCM reflected a DEF malfunction, so it got extra hate since people hate def so bad 😂 after the new pcm the truck has worked pretty good.
Maybe full recipe ect will help....clondike
When you say clondike... are you referring to the urban definition of that word? Because that's no way to ask someone for a recipe...
I would call that a miserable trip
No way, it was an absolute blast. Saw so many beautiful sights, made great memories with the fam, truck towed amazing, met some amazing people when the tires blew - I'd do it all over again in a heartbeat.
Are they better than the bfg A\T ko2 in the snow?
Hard to say exactly. They did amazing but we've never had KO2s on this vehicle. My truck has KO2s and those have done fantastic in the snow but I haven't done very much off roading in the snow. Just street driving, up and over passes in CO during blizzards, etc, and they did amazing.
@@gavinwalker5686 why I’m asking. We drive a lot in snow on paved roads. Then go off road on weekends. I seen some videos were people say the Baja boss a/t are better than bfg in the snow
@@vetomills4213 and what vehicle? ON the roads my KO2s have been fantastic, but haven't done a whole lot of off road snow. Did some that wasn't too crazy and the KO2s did ok. But, I imagine the Baja Bosses would be a little better because they are a little more aggressive. The KO2s didn't do that good in mud, it cakes on pretty good, so I'd assume that the right texture of snow might do the same thing and have a hard time clearing out. I'll also say that while I did overall like the KO2s, and they lasted 48k miles so far and by the time they're worn out I'd have exceeded their mileage warranty of 50k, I plan on trying something new next set. Either the Baja Boss or the new Wildpeak AT4s because my gut feeling on their tread design makes me think they'd be a little better for mud and deep snow.
@@gavinwalker5686 we have two jeeps. One with bfg a/t ko2 and another with wildpeak. We drive to aspen almost everyday for work. So snow is almost daily in the winter. Ko2s slip alot when the roads are a slushy snow. Definitely not good on ice. Why we were thinking of switching to the Baja Boss.
@vetomills4213 this jeep owner said fantastic in the snow. He has the AT version specifically, he has a friend with the MT version and they’re terrible in the snow (kinda expected).
