Whether you head out into the mud on purpose, or you end up there by accident, there are some trucks that will handle almost any terrain you come across. Ford has two trucks in its lineup that will get you through muddy roads any time of year. Here are the awesome Ford models for mud driving.
- The Ford Super Duty
The Ford Super Duty is a top pick because of the solid front axles. While many pickup trucks have independent suspension in the front, the Ford Super Duty has a solid beam axle to make it more durable and to increase the axle articulation. This axle also allows it to accommodate larger tires to help get traction in the mud. The engine in this truck is a 6.7-liter diesel that produces 440 horsepower and 860 pound-feet of torque to give it the power to push through muddy terrain.
- The Ford-F-150 Raptor
The Ford Raptor has several features that make it an excellent choice for mud driving. Ford designed it with an independent front axle, a solid rear suspension, and almost a foot of wheel travel at each of the four corners. This wheel space is almost twice as much as you would get in other pickup trucks. The Raptor also has a locking rear differential and a limited-slip differential in the front that allows it to slowly crawl through the mud without losing traction.
Check out either one of these Ford pickup trucks the next time you plan on doing any mud driving.
