F150 on Moab Jeep trails?

[caver]

A friend did the White Rim trail a few years ago in his Ford Ranger which is mostly stock. it's an overnight camping trip as it's slow going. I did it many years ago on a Suzuki DR650 in one day. worst part I remember is near Murphy Hogback. There was a short spot that had talc dust 8'-12". If it's still hot, head up into the LaSals. Nice but mostly easy 4x4 roads up to Oowah Lake, Warner Lake, Miners Basin and many others. I always thought Oowah lake (more like a big pond) was very scenic little spot.

Saw some of them when we were out there a couple weeks ago.
We rented a Jeep Rubicon Gladiator because we own a Jeep Rubicon and are used to it. Here we are at Dead Horse Point.

There are a number of trails a stock trucks can manage without damage.

We did one trail with a 4wd car, like a Mitsubishi behind us. Lol

Most of them have a lot of ledges - rock steps to crawl over. So at the very least, remove your front air dam (mine, at least is just held on with a few plastic screws) so you don't destroy it.

Most of our company vehicles are missing those. Every time that I get a new truck I do my best to save it but it never happens.
Even driving through snow is hard on them. Overall it's a pretty stupid thing to have on an off road vehicle.

Scenes from Moab this August

I am in the line of Kawasaki ATVs in the 3rd I was shocked at what those little buggers could do. Shocked!

Reminds me of a time I took a group of people to tour an old abandoned mine. All the logging roads and trails got washed out from a storm. I had a 1995 Ford Explorer 2 door sport, and it was at the end of it's life.
I had it on one and two wheels at times, water coming in the doors.
The other guy had a new Toyota Tacoma with locking diffs front and rear. He couldn't make it, so I had to do two trips in and out to get everyone there.

He said how did you make it and I didn't? I replied..."I got a $500 truck and I don't care if it breaks." LOL

Driving skill plays a large part.

You can have a lot of skill when you are not worried about your new vehicle, LOL
