Does anyone have Dune Grapplers? Or have any opinions on them?

I do indeed. Love them! I always get comments about how cool the flame tread looks. Suprisingly good in mud as well as obviously sand and hold well in the wet. Have already got 30,000 miles out of them and doesnt even look like ive worn any tread at all.
Im selling my truck later this year though to get an 09 platinum and planning on putting Toyo Open Country M/T.
Any other questions about them let me know.

I run them on an 05 GMC Canyon with the diesel engine and to me they are super quiet. My tire size is 265/50x20 and as far as weight goes they have held my maximum.
I recently moved house so had a double fridge freezer, washing machine, tumble dryer and 2 couches on the back (don't ask how I fitted them all on and was still street legal) but it never looked strained. Also I tow a lot of trailers filled to the brim with tires and wheels. Must easily be 6,000+lbs and they have never looked under inflated yet. Here is the truck itself if you were wondering what they looked like on. I have a close up of the tire itself but it's on my work computer.



If you have any other questions let me know

Well bud, you are in the wrong year to post that here.

You might want to try here

or here
https://www.f150forum.com/f30/

you might get a better response that way.

Good luck

i really like the look of the open country m/t more so than the dune grappler i like the dune grappler but i cant get used to it but its a unique tire and looks good on the right truck but the agressive m/t look cant be beat in my opinion but are you going for form or function. are you actually going to need a m/t or do you keep it between the lines and want a pretty decent a/t tire

i probably dont actually need an m/t but they look so good and especially the toyo. i was thinking that maybe the dune grappler would be a tire that has a decently aggressive look and would still get pretty good mileage. i have 285/70/17 firestone a/ts and they have good mileage but dont look very aggressive. this summer i want to get new wheels with a 33x12.5/20 tire
