Wider but thinner patch on road, 17in would be more like a square patch-20in would be more like dollar bill, thin contact patch.

Is the truck in this video even 4X4?

Agreed...looks like an idiot driver to me.

I dig the look of my 20's. I live in CO with plenty of snow and I haven't yet had the chance to change my stock tires even and my 20's do fine. I do have some sand bags in the bed which helps.

20's look good, and with nice tires, you don't have to settle for bad traction.
it was in 4x4 if u look closely to the front wheel spins

with the factory 20" rims is it best to stick with the 275/60r20? or what other tire sizes work with them? cause it seems hard to find that exact size when i've been looking for tires.

I just changed from 17s to 20s last week. I absolutely love them. I noticed right away the change in ride height. I prefer the handling as well. I plan on taking it in next week to get the speedometer recalibrated. I also plan on adding leveling kit as well.

Here are a couple before and after pics.
