Public Service Announcement for all the truck owners out there before winter.
Might be a good idea to drop your spare and hose it off, not to mention lubing the cable and lift mechanism.
I'm sure if you had to change a tire, the mud and dirt would be a pain to get out so the lug nuts would seat properly, not to mention making sure you've got good pressure in the tire.

Random thought of the day..... considered Cool Ford Trucks, but already posted this pic in there.
Got my snow tires on yesterday and from the measurements the tech took, it might be getting to the point where I should thinking new summer tires. KO2's are obsolete, so I'll be looking at KO3's.
Thought crossed my mind...... should I go black sidewall, or do a throwback, raised white letter look ???
Just for the sake of comparison side by side, it just so happened the local dealer had a Ranger Raptor arrive and a customer Ranger Raptor with BFG All Terrain raised white letters at the same time, so judge for yourself :
Looks like the customer ride has maybe upsized his tire size, didn't get a close look at the sidewall to tell, but looks like it.
Thinking seriously of going raised white letters next time I get new summer tires.

Pretty much an even split.
Hadn't considered the Toyos, I had a set of those for winter tires years back, they worked pretty good if I recall.
Toyo Rough Country 35's are about $500 cdn or so cheaper then the KO3's for a set of four.
I have run raised white letter BFG's on my vehicles, cars and trucks, since the late 80's, so I have a soft spot in my heart for them, whether they were Radial T/A's on my cars or All Terrain T/A's on my trucks.
Granted, the raised white letter tires are better suited for a higher sidewall you would run back in the day, say 60 series.
That being said, I would not run RWL on my car.
Not to say there aren't better options out there, but the fact the All Terrain's were OEM on the Raptor is a plus, even if they were black side walls.

End of day, personal preference always matters,
raised letters, I say do what you want, your truck
as for tires, I was same, until I seen price difference,
in my case I have a conection the toyos I got for $365 Each.
TKO's were $575 each,
As for the toyos look great on the truck, and work good,
If you want I can take a pic
