    Had my 2014 in the snow for the first time. Handled incredibly well even with the BFG Rugged Fails. I got a bit more rear end spinout than with my old Ranger but that could be the tires. Defroster doesn't warm up too fast though. But the 6 spd is fantastic for slowing down, the ABS is great and I could feel the traction control kicking in. Very impressed.

    get rid of the rugged fails and your mind is going to be blown.

    Also due to the composite bed there isnt much weight in the ass end, throw some sand bags in the back and its a tank in the snow with some good tires.

    scootx I built a corral out of scrap wood and lightweight aluminum rods that hold salt bags in place in the bed for weight. My '06 has built in indentations on the sides that hold the corral in place. The weight is right over the rear wheels. Come spring you can use the salt for your water softener.:D
