4x4 f250 crewcab mod - to each his own

Post by hillcountryflt »

On the way back to work today, I pulled up next to a current generation f250. It was a crewcab and 4x4. On the aftermarket side it was raised about a foot.
And it had low-profile (very low-profile) tires.
Not being a off-roader (and very few of the 4x4s in our area are actually ever used for off-road says my Ford sales rep), I would think that low profile tires would be counter-productive.

My impression is its all for show. At least here in Cali, I think 99% of lifted trucks are for show and never see the dirt. Which from a practical standpoint just makes the truck way more expensive to operate and maintain.

Not to mention that some of the lifts you see would make them death traps IF they ever did venture off road :hmm:
