- Can a 2020 Ford Super Duty rock crawl??
We decided to try it out on a Jeep Trail in Sedona, Arizona called Broken Arrow! The local "Pink Jeep" tours give rides up the trail to enjoy the rocks and scenery.
This is the perfect trail to test the locking differentials, suspension and see what the truck is capable of. I've driven off road trails for nearly 20 years. But never in a Full Size truck. So this was a very different experience...
Would you attempt this trail?

great display of team work ! Nice job.
Appreciate it! Off road driving is tons of fun. Great opportunity to work together. :)
2020 super duty $50,000
Lift and tires $5,500
Good old lady -priceless
Haha! Close... $40k truck and $20k in modifications. :)
Im looking at buying a truck like this to tow my jeep. Nice to see its capable.
Yes! We have documented numerous off road adventures and the truck build. It is certainly more capable than most expect. Have fun!
At 5:59 the pink jeeps used to go around that small rock formation. They called it chicken point. I remember doing it a few times. What a blast. I’m glad to see the f-250 is so capable!
The Pink Jeep passengers were surprised to see a pickup on their off road trail. Haha. :)
Nicely done! The places you can go😁👍!
Thanks! More challenges to come... :)
Great video, nice truck
Thanks!
Power folding mirrors would be a nice upgrade. Worrying about scratching that truck?
That thing is a beast, love it. Great choice.
Nahh... It's easy to fold mirrors and one less thing to break! I'll tell you... the Super Duty white paint takes a beating. Of course, we seal the paint. But it has been through some serious branch raking and is holding up. Really happy with it. Thanks for sharing!!! :)
I got the power folding mirrors when they are folded in it blocks alot of your corner views in the front. Wish I could turn them sideways then fold them in
Theres nothing better than modifying a regular work truck into wat ur gonna use it for💪 nice truck
Appreciate it. Less cost! But we enjoy the more basic features. Although, these things are luxury compared to trucks from the 90s. :)
great test run
Absolutely! More to come... upcoming off road adventure will be posted soon.
Wife and I have a 2022 on the way. I'm really excited. Don't plan to do too much to it as we will be using it to tow our travel trailer, but hoping to get some decent off-roading in. I love it up there, and hope the stock Tremor can handle it!
Very exciting!! It's a great truck. Ours is a serious work horse! And good fun too... :)
I didn't think I needed a super duty until this video, no I know I want one, lols
Haha - thanks for sharing!!
30 seconds in... I need help 😂
Short attention span?? Haha
Nice build. Just needs better tires. Love the wife's commentary.
Thanks! Will be doing an update video on the tires. This is the first Geolander XAT we've run. They have worked well overall. But love trying new tires!
awesome video ! did your truck come with navigation? or did you have it installed after?
Thanks! No navigation. We typically use our phone or tablet. Check out our build update video to see how we navigate. Thanks for watching!
Nice video! I'll take a look at some other vids but I'm curious about the tire size, lockers installed and gas mileage after mods as it looks like you've got a gas motor? 6.2 or 7.3? I've got a 2016 f 250 gasser that I use off road and am definitely considering traction aids in the diffs. and larger tires. Also wondering about the rocker gaurds. I've had a hard time finding anything beyond a step for the Ford full-size.
Thanks

6.2L Gas. 10-12mpg loaded. 37x12.5R17. Factory Rear Locker. OX front locker. Rock sliders were built by fabricator buddy (steel).
Build overview video:

@@TruckCamper thanks for the answers. I went through and found your build video. Good stuff. This is a very uncommon choice for sure and makes for some more interesting viewing.
Your MPG’s are very impressive given the set up. I’ve got the 3.73 and my tires are only about a 1/2” taller than stock and I get 12.5-12.8 on the highway unloaded.
Thanks again.
I've got a 16 F350 platinum with the 6.7 diesel. It's lifted 4" on 35s. Mine came stock with electronic rear lockers and the front is auto/manual lock. I wonder if it would be worth getting the ox locker for the front?
Depending on terrain you drive. Your front differential is open... meaning power will go to the tire with the least traction (not helpful). OX locker can be engaged same as the rear factory locker giving both tires equal power. We love the ability to turn all tires it helps give control on technical terrain (see some of our other videos)
Nice! We live in Europe and hopefully get our hands on our Tremor 7.3 gas within a month. Wondered how off-road capable it actually is but this is a good example. Did you install an aftermarket front locker?
Yes, It has an OX air locker in the front. We only used the rear locker on one climb. Used the front mostly (for testing). It climbed several with open diffs. Tremor has front limited slip which is helpful but does require some wheel slip to engage.
I didn't even realize you could get these in Europe. I thought they wouldn't fit on the roads.
Not bad for a 6000 + pound truck, now try it with the camper :) Looks like fun!!!
It will be more fun with the camper for sure!
what size tires are you running? did you change the ring and pinion gear?
37" Tires. It's running 4.30 gears which is the perfect ratio for the tires. Stock is 33" tires with 3.73 gears. Take a look at some of our build videos. Lots of detail on the truck. Thanks for watching!
Nice! What psi did yall air down to?
Think we were about 20psi.
What kind of shocks do you have? Does it ride better than stock on the highway? Did you remove the overload leaf in the rear?
Check out our earlier videos for build details. Fox 2.5" DSC resi shocks. Deaver custom leaf springs. Yes, much better than stock in all areas...
You don’t need the front locker engaged on everything, I would only turn it on when needed, unless you enjoy replacing parts often
Very true. But we were testing it. Increased the air pressure to the locker and making sure it would stay engaged. It's not a bad idea to run open until traction is lost. However, there are many situations where traction loss could result in stuck or damage... so really case by case. Thanks for sharing!
I have a 2006 f250 when I put it in 4/4 the lockers come on auto, Detroit locker in front air locker in rear. With the hydro assist it turns with ease.. I wonder if I will have to replace parts soon?
My wife needed a new vehicle and she hated my Tundra. I think I'll surprise her with the F250 ;)
We loved our old Tundra. F250 is more beefy tho...
Don’t worry, my backend sags too. I think it’s old age. Hahahahaha did you take any air out of your tires? If I could take some out of my spare tire, I’d be much better off. Lol. Cheers!!!
HAHA - Some problems harder to fix than others! We were running 20 psi...
Well I know how that trail is because I did it in my Land Rover discovery 2 and it felt big. This truck must have felt huge too lol. I have a 2017 f250 crew cab long bed and they’re big.
That's great! It definitely takes some adjustment to driving a big truck. I do prefer smaller off road rigs for trails but it's a great challenge. We had a 2019 F250 Crew Cab and replaced it with this extended cab. Massively easier to drive, park and maneuver. 12" shorter wheelbase is very helpful. :)
Do you think you will need anymore mods for better off-roading and if so what are they
Check out our latest build update video. Think we are in a good spot for how we plan to use it. Works really well.
Nice job
Thanks! We are planning to take on trails in Moab... stay tuned!
@@TruckCamper Excellent. I have a 2018 F150 Lariat with 2.5” lift, upgraded Bilstien shocks & 12.5” wide tires….. hasn’t been to Utah yet but going to try and hit some trails between Sedona & Flagstaff before Expo West.
Looking forward to your future videos!
@@robh6854 That is a beautiful area! Tread lightly and have fun
Just airing down the tire would had made a big difference
We did air down the tires... watch the entire video. :)
It’s called the Devils Staircase
Yes. Rather fun!
I thought getting my 2020 f150 through the trail was impressive! Another fun trail was Soldiers Pass but was shorter but still fun. It had some tight spots. 👍
Nice work! It's fun showing those "jeep guys" that you don't need a jeep! HEHE
I did soldiers pass in my 96 2500 suburban and the look on all the jeep guys faces when they said I wouldn’t be able to was fun to watch lol
@@charliemoomoo7200 Yeah... Jeep guys like to think they can always do more than everyone!
Love those plain white work trucks!
Yes! We love the clean look. White and black. Thanks for sharing!
Tell me about your lift/tires/suspension setup.
Check out our earlier build videos... here's a link to the full build: expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/2020-ford-f250-on-37s-expedition-truck-camper-build.216282/
Your truck would do great here in Virginia where it is wet and muddy. 👍
Haha - we got it crazy muddy on this last trip! Will post video soon... so many hours of cleaning!
So what's the spec? Lift, tires etc..
Watch our earlier build videos...
More specs here: expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/2020-ford-f250-on-37s-expedition-truck-camper-build.216282/
Any skid plates on tremor
Ours is a basic XL model... it does have the gas skid plate
@@TruckCamper any plans installing beefy skid plates to entire underneath?
@Jesus M No need. Gas tank is really the only issue... but doubt I could build a skid that could take the weight of the truck on it.
Why aren’t you aired down?
We did air down. :)
I wonder if anyone has ever put skid plates for the rear after a bit of a lift?? That way if you drop the ass it won't gouge with the hitch...or have it so the hitch is fine to work with. I love these Super Duties, you Chev and RAM guys must admit that Ford makes a damn fine truck!! Don't walk around with hatred in the heart-it will kill you before your time. Live in peace with the Big 3 Versus the Planet!!! *Perhaps I am dreaming though. Hate is cancer to the mind.
This video was still with stock rear suspension... later videos you'll see the rear suspension. Dragging the rear should be decreased now... planning to do more testing in Moab soon!
We need our own F250 club.
It seems there are not many people off roading them...
@@TruckCamper goin out next week
U need to air down your tires mate
Did you watch entire video?? We did air down... plus you can see our dual air compressors
Try less air in the tires
They are aired down... :)
Its a luxury vehicle with 4x4, trucks are getting to fancy. There was a time when your rust bucket would clang along with broken A/C and terrible breaks and you feel great as the sun beat down and turned your tin can into a oven
Yes! I agree. A basic model truck like ours seems luxurious! Standards keep increasing... It is nice having more comfort than the trucks of decades past. Thanks for sharing!
Worst spotter ever.😜
Hmm... My wife has learned a lot and keeps getting better.
Pink jeep tours are so annoying out there
Agreed. And they are rather rude to other users like us...
