Heritage 2020
SILVER Star
Greetings,
The roads are quite icy here, which is not a regular occurrence. I filled the LRA 24 gallon tank on the LC last night—just to have 65 gallons in the tank just in case. Mine has F/R Harrop lockers, but if you have no grip,…, traction systems don’t help.
On a drive this morning, I will say that the 40 gallons over the rear axle create a subjective “planted” feeling—which is good to have on ice/snow. It’s subjective because I can sense it when testing my grip levels.
My subjective feel is based on driving our other current family trucks—AEV Rubicon and Super Duty PSD (both 4wd) under similar conditions (KM3s and Falken AT3Ws). Both of our other family trucks have significantly less weight (4 door Jeep and a pickup) over the rear due to fuel tank placement on those vehicles.
Never thought that having more gas over the rear would make such a difference.
If you are out and about on icy/snowy roads—please be safe!
