    As a duratrac owner ..... they are overkill. There noisy and heavy and i will be going with something different when its time to replace them, more than likely Cooper AT3 XLT. The PO put them on and they do look good and have taken everything i have thrown at them (with quite a few punctures) but if im honest, they are overkill for my uses.

    Yes my MT's are overkill for alot of my use but when I need them I'm glad I have them. I don't daily my truck so it's easy to justify the downsides to a true MT.
    I would recommend looking into the yokohama geolander G015 it's a very mild AT. We run them on our work trucks and have no complaints overall.
    I run duratracs for 7 years across 3 trucks in various sizes. They are one of the most agressive AT's which brings more noise especially as they wear in. But I had no complaints in my years with them, they were ran all season all terrain. Highway, snow, ice, mud, trail, rock I only had one flat caused by a big bolt right through a tread block.

    Same on my 2020 Pro. They were such garbage that I replaced them after 9 months for safety reasons. They kept sliding out on wet roads and the tiny bits of gravel at dry intersections. I've had Wildpeak AT3Ws on since and had zero problems. Night and day difference.

    In my opinion, the provision of such tires is more criminally negligent of Toyota than floor mats that can bunch up under the pedals. They're simply dangerous.
