    depends if the boat ramp has little grooves in them, in my 01 i pulled out a 3 axle trailer with 30' cabin cruiser on it. pulled out good but the ramp has traction grooves. also pull out our pontoon boat and my uncles bass boat. now on rainy days i hated driving my truck cause no traction at all.

    Great advice guys! As always I appreciate y'all chiming in. I've got some decisions to make tonight after a few cold ones. Clearly those are the best decisions right?

    Some great perspectives and even some technical abilities of my Tacoma I hadn't even thought of.

    Residing in Florida now so no snow concerns and no hills.......except boat ramps! ;) Otherwise some light sand and dirt trail off-roading occasionally.

    oh another thing...i put a set of cooper sst or the stt i don't remember which way it went. but great tire!! i'd choose them over the BFGs plus they looked more aggressive. didn't change my MPG or power. very good traction on and off road.

    EDIT: pontoon boat.

    All of you having wet traction issues with BFG A/T need to stop hammering the skinny pedal.
