Growing up in Mexico eveyone still owns RWD trucks and drove in muddy roads. So it can be done but it is true skill and knowing your vehicle are the biggest factors.
Throw a lift on there and some 33’s with a more aggressive tire and it’ll do even more. I leave mine in 2wd a lot just to see what it will do and it’s always more than I expect! 👍🏻
Makes me want to lift a Mustang. Smaller footprint, shorter wheelbase, and lighter mass. Lots of racing trucks are 2WD, too. "Trophy trucks have been traditionally two-wheel drive..."
Yeah some meatier more aggresive RT or MT tires will help you out alot! I have some RT's on my truck and it works like a charm off road. Keep on going! 🙌🏼
I go overlandig with my 2wd 06 Ram 1500, FL, Utah, Colorado, Nevada, California, and the East Coast, is challenging and fun; Just carry an extra 4x4 buddy with you just in case 😅
Half of Africa driving day-by-day on much worse roads than this "offrod park" with old japanese and french cars with million miles in the clock and constant overloaded. Without any fancy jingles.
I hill climb decent hills , like hiking hills , In a 2wd 2006 tundra , few hundred lbs in the bed, falken wildpeak at3w , in 8 inches of snow, on top of a sheet of ice. Just don’t stop
I hunted on Scott Mountain 4 years and several other hunting clubs for over 10 years in my 1981 2 wheel drive F-100 pickup. It had a 4 speed stick in the floor and a 255 V-8 Yup thats right 255 V-8 didn't have any power but got around 18 20 miles per gallon.
the Specifications tab, the HP number for the truck came in right in the middle of the range quoted - 118. And the torque was 206 lb-ft. Compared to the 302's 132 and 232 #'s, it was anemic.
Ok ok ok when you are mudding don’t stop that’s when you get stuck I have an 83 Toyota t100 and once I stop in the mud it gets stuck bc you sink never stop or go slow like you was doin at 14 minutes in the video.
Genuine question for those that have gone off-roading in 2WD, would going to a low gear like on L or 2, be beneficial on a lose surface? Like on sand or loose dirt or maybe even in mud?
I always run my 05 F150 2wd truck in 1st gear when off-roading technical lines. More torque and more power is what you need. I also have 33s and a Detroit Truetrac which is and added bonus
It would definitely help. GMs G80 locker is good to go. The one Ford F-150 I owned for a short time had a manual locker selector, but I never took it off road at all.
One thing you should do is definitely drive on the rocks Use the rocks Tires are super durable off-road Like here 9:40 You should have when more on the right side of the trail where the rocks where also These newer trucks are made of lighter metal in the body’s So definitely get some weight back there And if you off road a lot get some tire spacers Most of the time your not trucking hard enough.
Actually yes I’ve done it in my Colorado 2wd basically acts like a paddles along with the mud grips just gotta be careful if they are Chinese ones they might exploding spinning them and if they catch you won’t have a good time
looks like that ford has less sidewall than the others. offroading should really be done with tires that are higher profile and ofc aired down so they can kiss the ground. i off road in my rwd car with light truck tires and go places others in their trucks can. open diff too, ashamedly. momentum is your best friend in 2wd
Put a wench on front and a removable wench on back. Put a locker in and voila, you can go anywhere as long as it is not in the desert where there is nothing to wench off of.
That was the plan. Originally, was going back and forth between a factory rear locking diff and a Limited slip diff. Both were going to be around $900 for parts. I would say worth it!
@@mosthated8190 better for all around dirt, snow, rain etc. did it when I regeared to 4.11s and done some gnarly 4x4 trails where I shouldn’t belong and owned it. still locks both tires at the right time, when you need it too.
@@apexcorner45 yeah i noticed after looking back you dont have the locker. Impressive the truck the trail with an open diff. Had you had a locker you wouldve been up ther with the 4wds
Of course it can be done. Farmers had 2wd trucks for 60 years….
Growing up in Mexico eveyone still owns RWD trucks and drove in muddy roads. So it can be done but it is true skill and knowing your vehicle are the biggest factors.
I see those 4x4 Hi-luxes climbing up steep very slick long muddy hills with 4000 lbs in their beds and chained tires in Central and South America
And people didn't believe me when I said I used to take my 2010 f150 off road. It was a basic xlt 2wd truck and it went places.
I believe if you had a rear differential lock and some better mud tires, you would have made that look even easier
Lot of people don’t realize 4wd wasn’t always a option and people made du with what they had
Throw a lift on there and some 33’s with a more aggressive tire and it’ll do even more. I leave mine in 2wd a lot just to see what it will do and it’s always more than I expect! 👍🏻
Tq👍👍👍
thank you for that👍🏿
Love how when they get stuck, they spin the tires and dig a hole. Like that will help.
ONE TIRE FIRE BABY! Great video. You looked like you had the most fun out of everyone .
Dude! Stop stopping! You gotta keep going!
I’m so satisfied watching this video 😊

Haha that the best idea! Also put a track pads or other recovery tools and that’s all
damn that is still very impressive.

4x2 rear diff lock some good Michelin all terrains and plenty ground clearance. You will get into most places.
dang a ford f150 rwd is doing good with out difflock on a 4x4 trail
I hill climb decent hills , like hiking hills , In a 2wd 2006 tundra , few hundred lbs in the bed, falken wildpeak at3w , in 8 inches of snow, on top of a sheet of ice. Just don’t stop
Nah this truck sounds too good to get stuck😂
Do you have a rear diff lock? My FX2 has a rear diff lock and it’s great
You just need a bigger lift. 35s on 17s
Put weight in your bed so your tires can have more grip. Good video!
I do these kinds of trip regularly with my hyundai van open diff 2wd just get one maxtrax shove it on the spinning wheel and off you go.
A locker can make a huge difference.
What difference can it make?
low profile tires are your problem. You need larger tires and being able to air down for better traction

Wow 4x2 did better than I thought
It would also help if you had an actual sidewall on that tire, not just a rubber band.
Dude you coulda gotten through most of your hiccup spots. MOMENTUM is your friend !
Used to those old guys would have buckshots on the back and got it done.
Does the truck not come with a 331 and a locker?
Idk what kinda tires you have but those would help too
Looks like low profile/short sidewall whatever they are- which doesn't help
What tires are you running?
tires will make or break a 2wd
Do you have lockers?
Ok ok ok when you are mudding don’t stop that’s when you get stuck I have an 83 Toyota t100 and once I stop in the mud it gets stuck bc you sink never stop or go slow like you was doin at 14 minutes in the video.
Soooo much gas damn gotta feather it more, steps are dragging, and street tires

@@carlinkevin I see. Thanks for the information
@@carlinkevinwhy did you go with a true truetrac rather than an Locker or ELocker?
@@mosthated8190 I'd assume for less binding on road
my 3rd gen 4runner is 2wd with a locker and it hasn’t let me down for what i need. threw some 32’ AT’s on.
I wish my 3rd gen 2wd had a locker 😔
I'm dumb as rocks, but if you install a rear locker, would that be much help?
It would definitely help. GMs G80 locker is good to go. The one Ford F-150 I owned for a short time had a manual locker selector, but I never took it off road at all.
Taking ford excursion out
2wd 6.0
Should do jus fine wit good line
One thing you should do is definitely drive on the rocks
Use the rocks
Tires are super durable off-road
Like here 9:40
You should have when more on the right side of the trail where the rocks where also
These newer trucks are made of lighter metal in the body’s
So definitely get some weight back there
And if you off road a lot get some tire spacers
Most of the time your not trucking hard enough.
Gotta send it and turn the wheels
you got no clue. the left line isnt rutted and easier, problem is its 2wd
@@walshy3092it’s not even 2 rwd watch from the beginning
it’s not a
limited slip differential only 1 rwd
Might be a dumb question, but would putting snow chains help get traction?
Actually yes I’ve done it in my Colorado 2wd basically acts like a paddles along with the mud grips just gotta be careful if they are Chinese ones they might exploding spinning them and if they catch you won’t have a good time
I got a small 04 rwd single cab wondering if I can hit the desert in that here in AZ
absolutely! Just make someone there has a vehicle capable of pulling out stuck vehicles.. just in case ;)
Driver needs to be skilled, good all terrain or mud tires a rear locker would get you most places. Just have to know your limits.
looks like that ford has less sidewall than the others. offroading should really be done with tires that are higher profile and ofc aired down so they can kiss the ground. i off road in my rwd car with light truck tires and go places others in their trucks can. open diff too, ashamedly. momentum is your best friend in 2wd
You did good, I think a rear locker and smaller wheels with bigger tire your set, but you did good for 2wd with low pro tires
Yeah I noticed those low aspect sidewalls
Put a wench on front and a removable wench on back. Put a locker in and voila, you can go anywhere as long as it is not in the desert where there is nothing to wench off of.
thats a 4wd park?
How much to add an aftermarket rear locker? Would it be worth it?
That was the plan. Originally, was going back and forth between a factory rear locking diff and a Limited slip diff. Both were going to be around $900 for parts. I would say worth it!
@@apexcorner45 get a Detroit Truetrac
@@carlinkevinwhy truetrac?
@@mosthated8190 better for all around dirt, snow, rain etc. did it when I regeared to 4.11s and done some gnarly 4x4 trails where I shouldn’t belong and owned it. still locks both tires at the right time, when you need it too.
@@carlinkevin is it good for daily driving ? I’m looking into getting one but can’t decide which one ,with so many options it overwhelms me
Throw a grizzly locker and maybe a regear and it will do wonders!!!
Did you have your diff lock on?
turning my traction control off acted as a "rear locker" lol
@@apexcorner45 yeah i noticed after looking back you dont have the locker. Impressive the truck the trail with an open diff. Had you had a locker you wouldve been up ther with the 4wds
That’s what I do
A rear locker will help some …
He needs more momentum and speed to get over some of that in 2wd
I thought so too !
Sheeesh lil to hairy for that
Wild 😉
For a few dollars more.
It's not a matter of can it be done but why even try.
Because conquering and conquest and working with what you have …. And stuff
1WD 😂😂😂
Buy a 4x4
Just like in the snow. put weight in the bed....
Stick with 4WD
