Ontario BS Thread

I can see a future recall on the 4WD knob on TuRD Gen, “customers accidentally put 23C instead of 4WD while off-roading = crashes”
A lot of interior parts on the third Gen designed questionably, don’t let me start on the switches...

 

Those switches look f'ed up. Designed by a group of 3 year olds. Lol!

 

I've got some insider information about how 3rd Gen was designed, but don't tell anybody.

 

I switch as needed.... if I'm on wet pavement only for a few minutes, I'll leave her in 4HI.... any longer, I go 2WD.... I need to pass in snow/slush....4HI for the pass...!!

She shifts nice if you flip the switch then back off the throttle a bit...4HI kicks in... power down... YeHawwww!!

 

Of course GM wants to fuck with you, too. They put the 4WD knob next to the identically-sized headlight knob (stupid American vehicles with headlight switch on the dash...)

Looks weird but very functional. Three different switches with different tactile feel, so you can press them without looking. Can't tell you how many times I've hit the fog light button when I try to turn off VSC.

 

True, it is annoying. All you had to do was make the switch slightly different. And bad placement. But what can ya do

 

^Or they could put the headlight switch on the turn signal stalk like all Japanese vehicles...

 

Mine is *shrugs*

 

You own a pick up... might as well take out the chainsaw...

You live in North Bay, FCOL! Everywhere is off road!

They dress funny...

Think school books... and green sammiches...

You have to start somewhere, grasshopper.

I totally agree with you, but looks > function /s

 

I have the Toyo A/T's on my RAM and they were not that good in our recent storm down in Prince Edward County. The ass end was tail light and the truck would barely move, even though my truck is a crew cab/sb with a LEER cap. It was fine in 4WD. I won't be buying those when it comes to replacement time, that's for sure. One thing though, they are dead silent on the highway.

@Bocsy44 don't you have Toyo's?

 

Or buy a RAM and have the gear selector as a knob on the dash right beside the volume control on the raaayyyydeeeooooo....

 

Nor have the gears engage at speed

 

I always run winters. Night and day difference

 

I did some mods to my RAM... can I come?

so sir, I have K bro 2's haha They are great in 4x4 but like any tire, with 0 weight in bed when there is a heavy coat of snow and no pavement in sight they don't grab anything, I still move forward but and that's why I bought a truck with 4x4 lol I like the tires and they haven't don't me any wrong. They are also quiet on the highway

 

That's a lesser sin, because everybody uses steering wheel controls for the radio

 

We got like a foot of snow. I was driving around on purpose just to pass people and drift around corners. 4x4 engaged the whole time of course but I had 0 issues stopping or taking off. 265 KO2's. If I remember correctly Wes had snow tires on the first snow run I went on and his low pro sled was going through EVERYTHING without issue.
