Off Road vs. Sport for snow?

Can't get a DCLB Offroad

 

is a 4x4 with AT's better in the snow than a 2x4 with highway tires???? lol


OP it doesnt matter get what you want.

 

Yes

 

Wut?

 

I SAID LOCKERS IN SNOW ON A ROAD WUT

 

Seems a LSD will perform better in snow/ice (on road) than Locker and vice versa for off road. Enjoy your new TRD Sport DCLB

 

For on road snow ice driving:

lockers in snow are dangerous especially on off camber turns

LSD or leaving your locker unlocked (open) is preferred

/thread

anyone who tells you a rear locker in the snow is better than LSD is on crack

that said good tires, common sense, and proper throttle control are key regardless of what you have.

 

You omitted the ? mark with that deafening retort. I was wondering what is wrong with using lockers in snow.

 

wheels locked and spinning at the same rate of speed going around a turn where the inside tire should be going slower = fail / break free / skid to death / ass end breaks loose / say by by

pretty simple

 

There isn't much advantage on a road unless you are using it to get back on the road , the rear end tends to want to become the front

 

Oops, I meant double cab short bed.

 

OK well get the off road package and another thing do you want the jbl and engine or not

 

I would buy the TRD Offroad then

 

Locker is nice for doing donuts in snow covered parking lots

 

That's pretty easy without too

 

True, it just makes it easier to kick out the rear end than being open differential. Not so good if you're trying to stay on the road haha

 

I've already got subs and a head unit so I don't really need the JBL. What do you mean about the engine? I thought TRD only came with the V6?

 

Locker for 1ft or more of snow. Auto LSD is a joke, add ATRAC and you have a good combo to roast your pads and rotors if you get stuck.

The e-locker has got me out of deep snow a few times. Just means a little leas shoveling after you get stuck. I think it makes a noticable difference in deep stuff

 

I hope a truck of any configuration can drive better than a board with tires on it!
