Heading out for my the first trip with my new ‘24 XLT 4x4. Rocky 4x4 roads in the Sierras.
What’s the suggestion on reccomended tire pressure? 18psi, 20psi?
I’ve had some chats about disconnecting away bars, but never seen anything on this forum. Any input?
Any other suggestions for first trip in the dirt?

Do you have the 2.7? If so, be aware of the transmission cross braces, they hang quite low and catch on rocks easily.

I’m driving a stock 2.3 and was planning on removing the running boards.

You'll be fine with 18 or 20. Too close to the same to notice a difference.

If you want to smooth the ride out and drive it easy, I run 16psi. Have never had any problems. Been doing this for over 20 years.
