As for using this truck for off roading, as someone who has been a pretty hardcore off roading sort for 30 plus years, I don't find the vehicle very appropriate for that sort of use. Handles poorly at any speed at all through bumps or washboards, poor maneuverability, has enough weight that you spend forever getting unstuck when you do hang it up or bury it, and most importantly, on this rig compared to the 2011 I had there is more expensive looking plumbing on the underside to tear up fairly easily.
Not sure too many people will be offroading their $60K trucks anytime soon either...
My truck didn't cost $60k, but I do run it off-road quite a bit on camping and hunting trips. It does better than you'd think in most conditions, with the big limitation being sheer size on some of the narrower trails. Even with the size and wheelbase I've found that the big girl turns pretty tight - it's quite a big better than my dad's super duty in that regard.
I don't think I'd want to run a truck with airbags off-road too much.
