There’s a lot more to towing than raw horsepower. Ask anyone who’s hauled a heavy trailer across mountain passes or through a Texas headwind — it’s all about balance, gearing, and control. Lifted truck owners often ask how their suspension, tire size, or gearing affects towing. The truth is simple: a lifted truck can tow exceptionally well if engineered correctly, but the physics behind it must be understood and respected.

Not all off-roading is created equal — and neither are the trucks built to handle it. Some lifted trucks are tuned to tear across open desert at 80 mph, floating over whoops with precision and control. Others are built to crawl up ledges and boulders at 2 mph, where traction, articulation, and torque rule the day.



 

In the world of lifted trucks, few temptations are stronger than a “deal.” Scroll through any marketplace, and you’ll find suspension kits promising huge lift heights for surprisingly low prices. On the surface, it seems like a win — more height, less cost. But as every seasoned enthusiast eventually learns, cheap lift kits almost always cost you more in the long run.

Every lifted truck tells a story — not just of style and capability, but of balance. Whether you’re adding steel bumpers, roof racks, light bars, or a bed-mounted spare, every pound you bolt on changes how your truck handles, brakes, and rides. Understanding the science of weight distribution is critical for both performance and safety. At Lifted Trucks, we engineer every build with precision because we know that the difference between a great lifted truck and a dangerous one often comes down to how its weight is managed.

When it comes to lifted trucks, few components make as big a difference in performance, alignment, and overall drivability as upper control arms (UCAs). They’re often overlooked, but ask any serious enthusiast or suspension expert — upgrading to aftermarket UCAs can completely transform how your lifted truck handles, steers, and wears tires.

In the world of lifted trucks, bigger isn’t always better. It’s a phrase that might surprise newcomers but resonates deeply with true enthusiasts. While towering stance and aggressive clearance might look impressive, lift height alone doesn’t determine performance. Real capability — on or off the road — comes from total system engineering.

When temperatures drop and the roads start to freeze, having a properly equipped SUV isn’t just a convenience—it’s a necessity. Winter driving presents unique challenges that demand preparation, from icy conditions to reduced visibility and unpredictable weather. Whether you’re driving a Toyota 4Runner, Ford Bronco, Lexus GX, or Land Cruiser, a few essential steps can make all the difference between a stressful drive and a confident, comfortable winter adventure.
