How exactly are we supposed to answer that question? I mean there isn't a capability scale or anything. It depends on the terrain and driver. I've seen people take stock trucks down trails locked and lifted trucks had problems.

Stock is pretty capable of a lot of things. Of course you wont go crawling on rocks like the AZ and CA guys, but its still capable and will suprise the hell out of ya.

For instance, these pics are of my bronco at hot springs, arkansas. 1990 bronco, 302 with 32" buckshot mudders. Everything is stock except for the tires, and that run was even on factory old shocks. That was a level 3 trail.

I took a stock BKO with 32 AT's on every trail we hit at RITS...never had a tow strap attached...learn to DRIVE not just point the truck...you will be pleasantly surprised
