First time driving on washboards with the truck. There’s a deep drone rumble through the cabin, almost harmonic, that is irritating to my ears. I’d have a headache after a half hour for sure. I’m hoping it’s the weenie OEM tires on the SR5.

Gravel. Most of our local trailhead access roads are gravel. The dirt here turns to peanut butter when it rains (a rare occurrence)

Sounds pretty normal for driving on washboards in any truck/SUV to me.

That’s what caught my ear. Different than the many vehicles I’ve driven or ridden in on these roads. It’s pretty harsh. I’ll update once I have new tires on and tested.
