I live in a rough mountainous area with some really big ruts, switchbacks, steep hills, and big rocks. I've given mine hell for years. It has never let me down. Very comparable to our older 94 F-150.

Lock hubs are vacuum controlled, and, as far as I can tell, cannot be replaced with manual lock hubs. You might want to keep that in mind.
My '98 4.6L has been great off road, except that in the last few days I have been getting a lot of noise and hubs won't lock.

Pre's are better apples to apples. I've never had an issue with mine but there are cab interference issues if you are doing hardcore full articulation. Then you have to decide if you like IFS or straight axles more. '97+ are better everywhere else.

not exactly "off road". but we got 16 inches of snow last year and plow did not come down the county gravel road for 2 days. After the first 24 hours, i got a run at it, held steady at 30 MPH and drove 2 miles down the winding road to the kids house. Turned around and came back. YOu can see two tracks and bumper plowing down the middle. Tires are probably a big part of it, but the LS unit works great.
