Which model is the better off-roader?

[FordPerf Addict]

So my question after seeing all the initial reviews. Which one is the better high speed off-roader? The 35 or 37 option?

I love my recaros on my gen2 , so I’d like to get them again. But I love the idea of extra travel on the 35. The agility of the 35 package is ideal. And also the look of the bead locks and graphics.

But most importantly, which truck off-roader for high speed desert style driving ? Has Ford left any reviews made any conclusions about this ?

35 for high speed stuff. With 37s, you get the extra clearance for obstacles

It turns out the two tire options actually serve different purposes and when you think about it for a second, it makes perfect sense.

If they still made a Scab, you would have a better off-road capable truck! Just sayin’

I actually think up here in the NE w/ tigger trails, rutted dirt roads, logging roads, gravel etc the 37”s would soak up more of the harshness & allow you to go faster vs the 35”s mostly because full suspension travel is less of a concern than absorbing that initial jolt

35 is better for off-road. Minimal mods on all previous Raptors allow 37" tires without losing suspension travel; no reason to think it would be different for G3. I wouldn't give up any travel to fit tires that will most likely fit anyway.

...and what @CoronaRaptor said.

ya everybody with 37s says they’re better for high speed and crawling, however the truck is really designed for 35s and 37s are more likely have issues

exactly my thoughts... for anyone that put 37 on after the fact - what issues have you seen?
