Can you take a 2wd truck off road? I took my 2018 F150 2WD to Rausch Creek Off Road Park and it performed better than I expected!

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

I believe if you had a rear differential lock and some better mud tires, you would have made that look even easier

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! 👍🏻

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.

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.

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
