Any of you with Fx4 run Falken Wildpeak 265/65r17 XL (They do not make an SL)?
Did it decrease your mpg bad? Any big side effects you saw? They don't make an SL, so I wanted to see what you might have experienced.

I've thought about this a lot. I've read on the sub how it's stupid for the buyer to do that. I believe you.
I think it boils down to the customer relying on old stereotypes of car salesman being corrupt and all the bad press or lies over the years of hidden markup, lying, etc. I get it. I don't mean to call you a crook.
In general, why is it bad to not tell the trade? Other than it's just lying, why? How does that change the trade value or the car price? How does it really work on the price?
2021 fx4. Is there any reason I would want a different tire size than what it came with? 265/65r17. After reading, I can't find any reason. Pretty much decided I'm getting the Falken Wildpeak at4w in 265/65r17 off-road, not LT rating, unless there's some reason not to get that size. Thanks.
I read on this sub there were corrected issues on transmission that happened on later 2023 and 2024+. How do you know if a 2023 got the upgrade?
I would like to try some off-roading, maybe. Not rock crawling but some of the overlanding roads I've seen. I can't change my tires out all the time or afford lots of different tires. Ford Ranger 2021 4x4. I might pull a small utility trailer sometimes. I don't know how much the tires would affect MPG either.
Thanks for input.
Is it because most buyers have kids?
It says 265/65r17 on the door, but online I've seen recommendations for 255, 265, and on here bigger. It is FX4, has the skid plate underneath and all that. I still have the Hankook Dynapro ATM tires, but I have to replace them soon. In southeast, no snow, occasionally off-road on hunting and forest roads. I read 255 can be better and cheaper. I don't know.
2021 Ranger, xlt, 4x4. I thought I should get Light Truck tires, but most of my time is on regular roads and the freeway. I don't want to mess up my tires though for my going on hunting roads, management areas (rocks and mud and limbs). I also haul landscape sometimes, single axle, but the trailer, zero turn, and trash sometimes. I'm not sure what to get. Any insight is appreciated. My hope is to stay under 1k.
I don't know if I'm supposed to wear cotton, the shirts that say wicking, or something else. I'm in Southeast USA, and it's super humid. Hiking about five miles. I take breaks, electrolytes, etc, but the whole wicking vs cotton or even wool, I don't understand what to wear. Usually I wear wicking. Does it change in full sun vs woods? I see the landscape guys in full synthetic, guys on fishing kayaks, but I know some of that is the sunlight protection.
Edit: Usually, the paths are well worn, parks and management area trails. So, I'm not walking through brush.
In general, how much does the width of kayak play into the paddling performance and the exhaustion factor of paddling over distance? I've see some kayaks that were 25" wide and that doesn't sound like a lot, but others are skinnier.
After reading and watching, it looks like the Dagger Stratos is the perfect mix for flatwater and mild rapids, but I don't know enough about the competitors and can't find the answer. Is there a kayak like it from a competitor? I really liked the combo of good on flatwater but mild rapids because I don't always know what I might happen upon or at least I don't want to buy ten kayaks. Well, I would but can't.
I took off the top part, the rod holder. I put on the base
You. An only tighten until it catches on the notches. It does not tighten down
It won't come out or off. But it is so unstable feeling and loose. Is this normal? Using a Crescent kayak Ultra Lite.
I wasn't sure how to word it, but for lazy rivers, maybe 1 or mild 2 rapids and lakes, are the Crescent Lite Tackle I and the Old Town Loon Angler about the same for paddling efficiency? I get one sit-in and that it will get some water in it. I also get a boat can get swamped. But as for paddling performance, say over a few miles, which one will leave me most tired on flatwater or a river?
Not a fishing question.
I've looked at a few of the 130t or about that. Wilderness Targa, Vibe, Crescent Crew, Old Town Malibu 2xl.l, maybe another one. I would it on flatwater too, but the size for a river bothers me. Yes, I know about divorce kayaks, and I have already tried them with the other paddler, that was the Old Town on New River, lazy part.
I did search. I didn't find the answer. Sorry if it gets asked too much. I am aware of the weight differences in the kayaks. I'm ok with that part. 450+ capacity probably.
I could still get two kayaks like a Loon or Pungo, but I would like the tandem. Thanks for helping.
Can you tell a real difference between two kayaks like that, or does it only become apparent over the long haul, after you've been a couple of miles?
I have a Crest Light Tackle. Much better paddling than other fishing kayaks. But I always wonder how it compares to kayaks like the Tarpon 140.
All the fish seem to be in the weeds near the bank, and I get that's usually the case with structure, but it seems like smaller panfish are in the shallow weeds a lot and the Ultra Lite tackle gets hung up a lot. What rig can I use to help with snags and not be using live bait?
I don't need more than 24fps because I want the cinematic look for my project. Does setting up at 24fps affect overheating, particularly, lessen the chance, or certainty, of it?
Edit: Looking at GoPro Hero 10 if it matters.
This was mentioned as being a misconception about ultra light fishing. I'll be honest, I thought this was kind of the goal, though I've seen the larger fish in the sub pictures. I thought most fish would break 4 pound line, though I know a four pound fish or a two pound fish is a pretty big fish (to me.)
I've read several posts that talk about DJI or Insta360 or GoPro editing software being one of the main reasons for one camera over the other. If I am using my own editing software, do I need to really care about that manufacturer's software part? Is the software about more than editing (for YouTube if that matters)?
I saw a video where the guy said all jon boats leak...a little. He didn't mean they sink or are bad, just that that's the way it is. They get water in them from the rivets no matter what.
