I will update. I bought from recommendations from my dealer who runs them on his own truck. He has had good luck with the Amp brand but this is the first year of the Terrain pro for him.They are a very soft tire, you can feel the dif over the rock hard oem kooks.

275/65/18 not looking to upsize . I would like a quiet tire on the highway. I had wildpeaks on my last pick up, good budget tire but mileage is reduced because of weight.

Same here. I am currently running a set of Firestone Winterforce UV2 in the winter - phenomenal confidence. We mostly have packed snow which turns to ice. Once you feel what dedicated winter tires are like you will never want to be without them.

This is the way to go. More expensive, obviously, but you can't beat dedicated tires. I just dropped $750 on Hankook iPike RW11s. I had those on my Edge and they wore great and I didn't have any issues for 2 winters.

Have no clue why people love the BFGs other than maybe they've never tried another tire? or how the heck they have snowflake symbol. Sure there good in snow. What about 90% of the rest of winter. They suck in rain period, cold and wet worse, ice? Kiss your azz goodbye. I run them summer, had 2 sets now. Chicago cold wet, might as well put banana peels as tread.
Defender's on the other hand hold ice best I've seen

I ran Treadwright mud terrain retreads on my old diesel (back when Treadwright's tires were actually cheap), the ones with the walnut shells in the tread- that truck was unstoppable in the winter.

Ran 2 winters on Cooper Discoverer STT's on my old Ranger, never had any major issues unless it was super slick, but in those conditions nothing short of studs will help.

TBH the only tires that I ever felt like they really sucked in the winter was when I tried to do a winter on all seasons in one of my old cars...they just didn't cut it.

Here's a link to customer ratings of AT tires on TireRack. I'd price shop among the top tier tires.
