Best truck for mudding? FX4, Z71?
What is a better truck for mudding or off-roading in your personal opinion? a ford fx4 or a chevy z71?
Why is it better than the other? Thanks.
New Chevys are every bit as durable as the fords, the older models (pre 07) can have some weak links when using larger than stock tires.(diff, steering) I don't think either have any good options for front end lockers. If going much larger than 35 inch tires it will be beneficial to swap in a couple of larger solid axles. Mudders usually use really large tires, and heavy axles to keep from breaking them. Hope i helped a bit. As far as motors go, you will be much happier with the Chevy. Better power, better mileage, and easier repairs.
