First day in snow for Taco - what do you do?

While the Taco stays home, I will march the Kia Niro from Tejas to Michigan and back!

 

Definitely not KO’s. I don’t know why, but my 1st gen couldnt drive through snow like this with new KO’s without chains on all 4 tires.

 

Actually 4wd does make you stop a bit faster.

 

This link is even a bit more specific (Tacoma)- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bXdXRbc2Rc

That said, it is marginal, but 4 wheel under power driveline proportioning does distribute braking more equally to all 4 wheels as compared to front braking having greater application (2wd).

 

OP turn off ALL the traction controls and leave it in 2WD. Then go have some fun!

 

Pretty interesting, guess that gives me more bragging rights when I see some dumbass with a 4wd on his top in snowy condition.

Not sure it would make any difference if the 2wd had adaptive braking control like many newer vehicles have.

I would suspect the driver makes most of the difference though.

 

Didn't matter. Bruce could not keep up, and home without issue!
