Washington Snow****

Ive drove in snow in 2wd pickups before in the sierra mountains. Weight in the bed is key, and drive very cautiously.

 

I have the same truck you do and it was a little dicey out there. I live in Lake Stevens just east of Everett, WA. I'm in the process of buying a set of winter tires to get a little advantage. I just missed the turn to my neighborhood yesterday evening when I slid. Had to back up about 3 feet and try again.

 

Fixed

 

4wd would be key if he truck had it haha.
Tires, weight, and a light foot you can drive 2wd in the snow.

 

Wow, that is an unfortunate first post. On the bright side, your tailgate looks like it might be a candidate for the compressed air dent removal trick:

Probably worth a shot at least.

 

Another tips for the people with new Toyotas, smear some Vaaaseline or beezwax on the door seals. Save from tearing the seals apart and causing a leak, when you open your frozen doors.

 

The cold front was suppose to be pushed south and bring the snow to us in Portland. I was expecting to play in the snow, but instead we got ice. Can't play in ice.

 

I cant wait for some snow here in Ohio! First Winter with 4-wheel drive. No more getting stuck in the driveway for me!

 

Is this all the snow we're were getting? Or is there more to come?

 

It was pretty awesome driving in the snow yesterday. Seeing all those cars parked on the side of the road because they didn't have traction and I just drove on by. When I traded in my F-150 I almost picked up a Mustang but I'm glad I didn't. A 4x4 is a must here in WA. (In my opinion.)

 

there is still another month until winter actually gets here, just wait.

 

I have to go to work in like an hour..oh yeah I work outside and it's about 25 degrees out..fml

 

Then that means I have time to get better tires, and i wish I could trade in for a 4x4 but that's just not in the budget right now.

 

long term outlook talks about most snow being dumped in Northwest this year, with Northeast being spared by snow but with cold temp swings. So if you live in Northwest its probably safe to assume that is just the prelude to more...

 

my truck handled awesome in the snow and ice the seattle storm dished out! not bad in 2 wheel drive either, suprisingly. i've tried many tires and i love my bfgoodrich all terrains.

 

same here with the BFG A/Ts, there were a couple times while stopped at a stop light that a slight touch of the gas caused me to spin tire...4wd solved that problem, not to mention the huge hill by my house that the tacoma dominated, while 10-12 cars were pulled over cause they couldnt make it up...

 

thanks mang. will do for the rest of the season!

i parked it... went inside and 15mins later my neighbor knocked on my door and told me he saw my truck slide by his window and i went outside and it there it layed.

thank u sir!

that's awesome! anyone on here done that before?

 

And it will be here until late Feb early March in this area.

 

cant drive rwd truck in ice?

turn around and drive backwards
you are now a fwd vehicle

problem ice?

 

cept a fwd vehicle has the weight of the engine engine and steering the drive wheels on its side

speaking of ice, heres some snaps a guy in alaska took on another board im on
