I wouldn't mind something like a TRX because I am a full on addict of HP etc.

I do want a truck because they are useful. My father in law still won't sell me his old F-150. I am quite sure I'd end up modding it if he did because I am insane and cannot leave anything alone

These trucks need a bigger grill. Seems awfully small.

The grills remind me of lips of a grouper fish. Kinda like the bucky beaver BMW grills. So they go together.

Just like my G82CX. I like big grills and I cannot lie!

How’s the road noise level been with the KO3s?

Truck remains quiet both around town and on the freeway.

That’s impressive for that size and load range. I may have to look into those.

Keep in mind that all A/T tires will get MUCH louder with age. I've never come across a set that didn't get quite loud after about 15K-20K miles. There's not much way around it. They all start to feather a bit at the tread block edges and less thread block squirm and more rubber to the ground equals more noise regardless of how well you rotate tires.

Yes, I've had Toyo Open Country ATs on our Grand Cherokee for the last 34,000 miles and they have gotten a little noisier but I don't even notice it anymore. I've read a few reviews on the KO3s but the noise issue seems to vary from person to person.
