Nitto Crosstek

They're an 'HT' tire, meaning they're a 'Highway Truck Tire'. All the biggies make 'em, but Nitto is trying to steal some street-driven 'off-road'-style trucks by intimating they're a 'cross' between an HT and an A/T.
Their benefit is they last longer than an A/T. They don't offer any more traction off-road than an all-weather tire however, so if you regularly off-road your vehicle, these aren't the tires for you. Mud will slick 'em over lickity-split.
Fire-trail stuff you'll be okay on, just like any other all-weather tire.

I'm getting ready to get a set of 255/65/17 Crosstek's for my 150. Although its getting great reviews, im a little upset that there not great in the mud. Seeing as my truck is only 2wd i need all the help i can get going through mud

I have had mine on for some time now. I think I've put close to 30k miles on them & estimate I have another year left. They certianly last longer than the Terra Grapplers. Do they have as aggressive off-road pattern? No, but how much time are you really going to spend off road? For me, it was only during hunting season or pulling timber for firewood. The Crosstek was perfect. Never had a traction problem ever. And they rode great on the highway with no discernible noise at all. Plus they are tow rated (I pull a camper too) where as alot of off-road tires won't tow.
