Overlanding Pisgah National Forest in Ford Ranger (Day 1 Hurricane Creek)

FIRST EVER CHANNEL MERCH LINK BELOW!!!
downsouth-expeditions.creator... We overland the famous and technical Hurricane Creek in the hopes to reach Max Patch lookout. Pisgah National Forest is an amazing place and is truly breath taking. The 2019 Ford Ranger did great throughout the trail and its narrowness helped tremendously.
With light rain we manage to catch up unknowingly to two awesome outdoor enthusiast and avid off roaders, Ethan and Colby.
The rain created some extra difficulty on Hurricane creek but non the less we made it out and found an amazing campsite right off of our initial route.
If you or someone you know has a Ford Ranger make sure to share this video with them so they can experience this awesome trail for themselves.
Here is our own GAIA gpx route, however it does exclude the detour we had to take in part 2 that will be airing later.

Thanks for showing the full trail. I know there are some talks in off-road groups on facebook to gather a few volunteers and spend a day or two leveling out those ruts, so more average rigs can get up and enjoy the trail. I know a couple years ago Subarus were able to do Hurricane Creek, but not so sure about them being able to do it nowadays.

that would be awesome!! I do believe the trail in some of those rough sections could use some work.

keep in mind that 20psi and above is still relatively safe pressures for on road driving, at 15-18 psi, you'll still be pretty safe offroad, as well as allow yourself a significant increase to your tire footprint over pressures at 25+ and above.

Great video man and thanks! I have a 2020 Ranger and love it. I installed the 2" front lift to level it out and just installed 285 R70 17's on the bottom. All 2019 Ford Ranger models and up come with a rear locking differntial in the 4x4 package and so if you had 'locked' the rear diff, you would have craweld up that hill no problem (at about time stamp six minutes). If you have a 'rear locker' or a 'front locker' you should always use it in this situation, It is much better on the vehicle itself.

Good looking ranger. I am regretting having bought a new 2023 Tacoma trd offroad model truck. It is nice but I am a big guy at 6'1" andcweigjing 330 lbs. I do not like how I set so low in the drivers seat. I traveled down to Townsend last Saturday. That was not a comfortable ride. Paid 32.5 grand down on it so I am going to be able to trade it in on a ranger lariat with tremor suspension package on it. Since I work for estes express lines I can buy Ford trucks for just a 300.00 markup over the dealer true invoice price that they paid for the vehicle I buy. I am tempted to buy a new ranger raptor as i tuen.59 in October. So in spring when I turn 59.5 I can take money out of my 401k savings account to just pay off the loan. So I di not mind buying a mid 50's ranger raptor as it will already come fully customized with 33" tires and both front and rear locking differentials.
