Having the correct load range for your truck's weight is a must. A sidewall that's not made to handle the added stress of towing or the vehicle's weight can be a ticking timebomb. The Terra Grappler is available in a wide variety of sizes and load ranges that can be matched with your truck. We went with a load-range D, which is designed for the heavy weight of our 3/4-ton truck.Having the correct load range for your truck's weight is a must. A sidewall that's not mad Tow rigs offer the ultimate in peace of mind. Whether you're the type of wheeler who drags his rig in pieces back to the trailer after a weekend of wheeling, or you own a buggy that's not quite road-legal, having a dependable truck to get your 4x to the trailhead can be just as important as having a rig to wheel. Recently we fueled up our '06 Dodge Ram 2500 and set out on a 3,400-mile trip from the golden shores of Los Angeles to the far reaches and tall trees of East Texas and back again. Since we knew that we'd be doing a mix of hauling and towing throughout the trip, we knew this would be a great opportunity to test out a set of tires for our tow rig. Looking around at our all-terrain options, we went with a set of 325/70/17 Nitto Terra Grapplers and mounted them on our factory 17-inch wheels. The Terra Grappler sports a mild lug stagger, which keeps the tires quiet on the highway while maintaining enough space between the tread voids to keep you moving when the cleats meet the dirt. A very well rounded tire-no pun intended-the load-range D sidewall didn't seem to mind the added weight of a 7,000-pound trailer-and-buggy package. Even when we pulled a 25-hour driving marathon the tires never became too hot or loud or acted strange on the road. Overall, we've been extremely pleased with how the tires rode, handled, and performed in a variety of mild wheeling and hauling situations. So if you're looking for a new set of rubber for your tow rig and need tires capable of balancing the dirt with the asphalt, take a look at what Nitto has to offer. The Terra Grapplers just might grapple you the right way. Off-road towing is often part of getting your buggy to the trail, and the last thing you want is to have to unload your buggy to pull your stuck tow rig! The Nitto Terra Grappler's voids leave a fair amount of space between the lug patterns so when you take the turn from pavement to the dirt, you're not left spinning in place.Off-road towing is often part of getting your buggy to the trail, and the last thing you w From hauling around 2,000 pounds worth of axles to a 7,000-pound buggy-and-trailer combo, our Nittos never missed a beat.
