Default Ford 4x4 VS. chevy 4x4

Went mudding with a buddy he has a 2011 scab 1500 with a level, 20inch wheels and some street tires. Me 06 scab lariat. With 18inch wheels and mud grappler 33's. he was cruising through mud pits that i got stuck in. Os there anyyhing majorly different abt the 4x4 systems that would make a chevy better in the mid. I was getting verrrry frustrated. Embarrasing since i had mud grapplers with still good tread on them. Any answers??

Does he have lockers? Do you? What gear ratios are the trucks.

How much mudding experience do you have and how much does he have?

Sorry to say but experience trumps the trucks ability most of the time.

Probably the driver, Or ground clearence. stock form muddling gears and horse power mean nothing.... If one is lockerd and one is not will make a difference.

Driver is big key

Yes, one 4x4 system is being used by a better driver

He more than likely has the G80 limited slip and an open front diff. Driver error on your part, not enough wheel spin.
