The wifey just took delivery of her brand new 2022 Timberline! We're pumped and lucky to have been able to reserve it the second it became available, she absolutely LOVES it. Took a bunch of pics of some of the unique features, trying to find out if it has a factory "lift" to decide what size tires we can squeeze in there.

First impressions, it rides great, has plenty of power, full of tech features that we're currently combing through. Interior is AMAZING, we love it. Seats aren't as "green" as they looked online, which we're happy about. We live in the foothills outside Laporte, we do a lot of back roads, steep washed out sections, and tight switchbacks (just getting to my parent's house). The trail-turn assist is pretty slick, along with the crawl control. Haven't put it in 4L yet, or tried out the rear locker. We'll probably be some of the few people that'll actually test it's capability. I also have a FJ80 Land Cruiser and a lifted Bronco II in my ever-growing fleet of hoopties (that's why my wife gets the fancy new SUV).

LMK if you have any questions about it, I'd be happy to answer!

Very nice Timberline! Went with 275x70x18 BFG Ko2's on the stock FX4 wheels. Stock height and ride great at 42 psi.

I'm currently running 285 / 60r 20's (33.5" x 11") on a stock expedition. I think you would be fine starting here and likely even squeezing a bit more in if desired.
