<hr style="color: rgb(209, 209, 225);" size="1"> <!-- / icon and title --> <!-- message --> My family is planning a reunion of sorts in Murfreesboro, AR to visit Crater of Diamonds SP. I noticed that Hot Springs, AR is tantalizingly close by, and I would definitely like to check it out!

One problem though...

We're making this trip in my mostly stock '02 F-250 (ex cab, short bed, ls, 285's); no one else in my family will be taking any 4x4 smaller than mine (2wd suburbans, and another super duty but crew cab long bed.)

I've looked at the trail map and ratings on the Superlift website, but they only give general ratings, not detailed descriptions of each trail. From what I've read, I'd be willing to take a shot at most of the 1 and 2 rated trails.

What do y'all locals think? Will I be the dummy stuck on a 1 rated trail, or will my pig rig make it through ok? Any suggestions on what 1 & 2 trails to avoid / I gotta try?

Thanks guys!

 

Why not try. I had plans to go last fall but all of my friends fell thru on me. According to the web site the 1 trails you only need 4x4 ocasionaly. It is some beautiful country if you havent ever been. I vacationed up there several times. Last summer we went up and rented a party barge and went out on lake hamiliton. There is a big garden up there that my wife drug me to. Suprisingly I really enjoyed it. lots of stuff to do in the general area.
