GAT vs Traverse

[740overland]

Hey everybody, I’m in the planning stages for a trip down south to Georgia. Was wondering what the community thought was a better route to go whether it be the Traverse or adventure trail? I’m going to be in a full size rig if that makes any difference in your opinion. Thanks in advance for any information you can provide!

I don't have any input, but am also interested in this.

the wife and i go to georgia a good bit and i got off on a dirt road with a lifted tundra with camper shell and cargo rack on top...i barely made it. very sharp turns with no turn around and several downed trees that i luckily cleared, but barely. definitely get some good info before going in a full size rig. pretty sure there are sections of the GAT that would be rough for a full size...

Are you referring to the Georgia Traverse? I still have one section to complete near Tray Mountain, which I have heard is the most challenging section. For the parts I did east and west of there, it was an easy drive on fairly well maintained FS roads. Have they not been maintaining it lately? Some of the off-shoots can be challenging, but I don’t recall any of the main road being tight.
