Anyway, I switched over to Firestone Destinations and Goodyear Duratracs and have had much better luck on those rough roads.
Again, not meaning to scare you, but my experience on those types of roads have not been positive.

I've run the Michelin LTX on 2 different vehicles now, and never had a problem so far. Mostly highway miles with some pretty intense off-road about once a month or so at the deer lease. My dad's been running the LTX on his truck out at the deer lease (not the A/T) and his are doing great.
I hope you're wrong, but if they don't last, I'm comfortable with the Duratracs; I run those on my Jeep. Other than a bit of noise (which doesn't matter in the Jeep), they're good tires.

Oh man. So sorry to see that. The exact same thing happened to my sister last Friday. Hit from behind by a driver who was texting. No insurance and a suspended liscense.

Glad no one was hurt! I've seen plenty of accidents with worse outcomes.
So I just picked up my TV from the stealership...got the oil changed (free & 1 more left) and had them rotate the tires. I would have liked to have had them perform the recall of the water pump replacement, but they of course didn't have the part in and don't know when they will come in!

Hooked it up to our Eagle HT and towed about 2 hours south for a 3 day weekend of unseasonly warm December camping.

Looked at mine and thought about washing it, but it was a bit too chilly for my liking. Maybe next weekend

Gotta put your big girl panties on and get’er done! I got mine clean...but I definitely froze to death. My mistake was letting my 9 yo be in charge of the hose! I was soaked! Had to take a 20 min hot shower just to feel my extremities again!

Lol! Exactly why I didn’t do mine. My kids would’ve soaked me from head to toe

Added bed lights
I added LED bed lights. They are wired to the tail lights and I used a lighted flush mount push on/push off switch mounted through a hole in the stake pocket. Under $30 total.

Replaced OEM shocks on 2016 F-150 Lariat with Bilsteins all the way around. Definitely helped the ride. Now the rear axle doesn't float going over rough roads and RR tracks.
Plan to get out this weekend with the TT. That will give me an idea on how the ride is later this year when we plan an 8000 trip.

Washed and waxed it Sunday. Either it's getting bigger or I'm getting older.
