Glad he is ok but also very lucky to make it through that

 

Agreed

 

He's going to be sore for a long time.

 

Right? I imagine that was one hell of a wild ride.

 

So i havent had a 4x4 before, other than an AWD WRX, should i be worried about whether or not the truck will get me to and fro in ice and snow with MTs?

i dont plan on going anywhere but IF i need to leave the house....

 

MT’s generally suck on ice. Go slow. If you need 4x4 to drive, there’s probably enough ice that you’d be better off staying home.

 

4wd will help move you, but not stop you. You’ll have more control in snow, but the stopping is where stuff goes south.

 

Nothing does well on the ice unless you have variable awd with true ice tires. If you have to get out just go slow and anticipate movements. Snow is heavily dependent on the vehicle. My wife's 2wd Xterra with an auto locking rear diff did great. The AWD Avalanche loaner I had drove like shit.

 

It honestly doesn't matter what tires you have, when you hit ice. Best tires I've ever had in deep snow was some KM2s.

 

Do. Want.

 

Needs more armor plating and a bed rack mounted full auto pew.

 

These are also necessary do wants.

 

Why does it sound like a lawn mower?

 

The best thing to do driving on ice is put it in neutral when coming to a stop it is amazing how much faster & straighter you will stop when you remove power from the wheels. Also if you have any type of locker turn it off unless you are stuck.

 

Weather radar shows snow falling in Ft Worth, and south of it.
