Went for a short walk after work and found something free from a neighbor to haul. 2 loads. Must. Fix. Splitter.
It can handle quite a bit actually. Although stock set up would not be ideal. Better tires, lift, etc can help a lot. Biggest issue I have with the crawling is the insane amount of power/torque that it can apply making it a bit challenging to control smoothly.Doing a little offroading near Moab (offroad entrance to Arches National park). This truck is not a rock crawler. But it can handle some light offroading.
Sure, non-stock it could do a lot.It can handle quite a bit actually. Although stock set up would not be ideal. Better tires, lift, etc can help a lot. Biggest issue I have with the crawling is the insane amount of power/torque that it can apply making it a bit challenging to control smoothly.
I have to admit I'm a noob at this off roading stuff, so I haven't done any real ICE based off road driving (just what you can manage with a Subaru ForesterSure, non-stock it could do a lot.
I had a lot more control in the Lightning than I've had in any of my other gassy trucks. IMO, there's far better torque control since there's minimal resistance to applying torque when desired (no rev sag, no transmission interference, etc). It's all accelerator control instead of two or three pedal control.
