Hi, I’m looking for advice from those of you who got the PW for over landing and offroading or, who are offroading but you another rig for that purpose.
My main goal for this first truck for me would be to have a capable, comfortable rig that can do Offroading and get get me to trails that are 10-15 hours away comfortably.
My past rigs have been well built Montero gen 2 and a Land Cruiser 200. The 200 had arb bumpers, sliders, 33s, winch and took me anywhere I wanted. Some of the more difficult trails I’ve done include Mengel Pass and Black Bear pass. I know the PW would struggle with my skills and it’s size on BB pass but how about the rest of the trails like Imogene, Mineral Creek, Engineer Pass etc? How hard is to pass a group of rigs on the trail? How difficult is to fit some of the more narrow trails (assuming I get the 360 camera option)?
I am realistically only drive once or twice a year to these trails and although is over 1000 miles away I don’t think I’ll do more than 5k miles a year so the cost of gas doesn’t scare me that much.
If I get a PW I’ll probably not modify it much, 35s, sliders and maybe some armor. Down the road maybe an RSI .
Would I be better off building a smaller truck like a Ford Ranger (Tacoma is not right for me, too underpowered for my taste).
please share your thoughts… thanks
