Utter hogwash.
50+ years truck owner and recreational 4-wheeler.
Yes, a "highway" oriented AT vs an all season tire with a bit more grippy tread design than normal is a bit of a wash for "most" people. But
The typical All Terrain tire has stronger carcass construction, stronger sidewalls etc...
Lots of suspension and brakes type of stuff are marked professional installation. Probably to protect them from DIY clueless people installing stuff wrong.
Doesn't mean you can't install it yourself. Aux airbags are very straightforward.
BUT, if you aren't certain of your abilities and tools...
In the Ranger I wanted a Lariat Supercab 6' bed. They dropped this for 6th gen. I also would prefer a manual trans. Those are long gone.
I was going to replace my 2012 F350 with a new one this year. But again, I want a Lariat or better trim level supercab short (6'8") bed. As of 2025 you can...
I wish that were still true...
Every year carmakers drop models and features to only produce best sellers.
I can longer buy what I want in a new truck.

Back in 80s we ALL put K&Ns in our rigs. Didn't take long to find dust or oil (or both) in the intake and sensors to clean...
My 85 4Runner was a wonderful rig. So many great memories. I miss it sometimes.
I recently drove an early 90s Yota. Gawd. It was awful.
No Way I could EVER be happy with 119hp again....
And the full 4dr cab stoopid short bed is not useful to me, even in a full size truck.
I wish they still...
You could look inside yours and see how much clearance you have at the caliper and steering components with the wheels you have now.
Bear in mind, each wheel style may vary. I once had 2 wheels of different styles - same size and offset - one fit, one rubbed on the steering knuckle as I...
There's an old guy (older than me!) down the street who has an early Ranger (1994ish?) and a 74 Trans Am that both look Barrett Jackson quality.
Neither are restored. He bought both of them new and took incredible care of them!
