Yup, both are very similar tires in specs (trail grapper/toyo MT), good looking tires. My gripe with them is the weight, just ridiculously heavy compared to BFGs. I regret the switch to Toyo.

Ok thanks so much for the all the input soo the nitto's are cheaper but if they are the same tire In sence that would be the way to go. I saw a White 09+ f150 at Waterford lakes,Orlando (shout out if you are on the forum haha) on brand new nitto terra grapplers in it looked really nice...

Haha right on Merty. Always looking for more people to wheel with if you ever want to hit up the res, hit me up with a PM. Getting my 5star tunes loaded tomorrow so I can't wait to see the difference with my 4.56 gears. Oh and it will be nice to be able to put the GPS away and actually use my speed odometer...

Honestly, in my opinion the Tera grapplers are not very aggressive, if I'm going to pay that much I'm gonna get me some aggressive meaty tires. I went with the nitto trail grapplers because of that reason.

I love my Terra Grapplers. Had a set on my last truck and now my new one has them. I would love a meaty mud terrain but most of the time you do not get good mileage and I can't have mud terrain because they are too loud for how much I drive and talk on the phone.
