Love this body style. What horrible pictures though

Every time it snows my roads are covered. I can either slide around or click 4hi like I paid before and get to work like nothing is going on. 2wd is useless in a year round vehicle. Apart from living near the city I suppose

[DEEZUZ]

You can call it driver error or whatever you will, but when my truck kicks sideways constantly due to snow, I'm going to lock it in 4x4. Why even risk it? Why play a game?

 

[daturbosix]

i really dont see the reason to have 4x4 for those 1 or two times a year it would be needed.

 

[DEEZUZ]

Again, maybe city life plays a bigger role. I use it more in summer than winter. Some driveways down here are absolutely insane and have sink holes.

Anytime we catch a piece of land for sale we go check it out, alot are driven through forest and shit where it can get sketchy. Not to mention how many farm fields I go through getting to a broken truck or tractor, etc.

 

[daturbosix]

yeah, i dont do that stuff.

 

[Pressure Ratio]

As usual, it depends on your intended use. 2wd obviously means less weight and less to maintain/break/fix.

I rock my 2wd with snow tires when ever it looks like it will be dicey with snow and ice. And I own a AWD vehicle too. Snow tires are the major upgrade with 2wd and snow/ice.

But Ya, hillbilly backroads and hill climbing 4wd has a big advantage. Especially that gearing.



Some people also don't know what finesse is. All they know is hammer down! LMAO

thats me in the TBSS. with the abs fuse pulled of course.
BUTTTT as long the front tires are pointing in the direction i want to go, all is well.

They dont use rock salt here and we have constant thaw freeze cycles so it gets icy more than straight snow on the ground, couple that with elevation changes (it’s a 1000ft difference between my home and work) and I’ve literally never had an issue. Tires and driving style is more than enough to not end up in a ditch.

I see people full throttle and traction control going bonkers up the main street by my house all the time and just People stacking up behind them as they hold up traffic and get sideways in a fwd vehicle. It’s not that fucking hard.

Also soft roading up mountain roads in 2wd is fine too. Did it in the Silverado and the Sierra and both were even lowered Meanwhile dudes in built XJ’s all “I’m an off-roader!!!”
