February 22, 201511 yr Enough. Why can you not see what we all do - you have the worst vehicle to use in the snow. Your constant fish-tailing at every green light. "Gunning it" on those bald tires to get up a hill. The insurance industry thanks you. Now please go get a real truck, or maybe a nice Camry, because your 2WD ain't cuttin' it!
February 22, 201511 yr I have had several 2 wheel drive trucks and never a problem. Trick is to put sandbags or carry a snow shovel in the bed and fill the back up with a pile of snow.
February 22, 201511 yr I can't stand the super slow pokey people! Especially when they sit at the light and look at everything but the green light! They love to pull out in front of you just so they can poke!
February 22, 201511 yr I have had several 2 wheel drive trucks and never a problem. Trick is to put sandbags or carry a snow shovel in the bed and fill the back up with a pile of snow. I always put about 4 large bags of pea gravel in back of my truck and never had a problem. Didn't use sand because it would absorb water, expand and then split the bags open when they froze.
February 22, 201511 yr My avatar says that one of best things we ever did was help talk her into letting us buy her a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee this summer for her "away at college vehicle".
February 22, 201511 yr I keep blocks in the back of mine in winter but don't drive it far unless I have to.
February 22, 201511 yr Without additional weight on the drive (rear) wheels trucks and big SUVs probably do worse than FWD autos since the heavy engine is at opposite end of the vehicle. AWD vehicles do well in this stuff - better than 4WD with the 4WD engaged and more stable even in icy conditions - though nothing does 'well' in icy conditions. 4WD can help in snowy conditions.

Not.
February 22, 201511 yr Wish me luck today! I'll be leaving in a few hours to make it to the resort. I will be taking my Camry. Now, the luck isn't for the whole trip. I just need it to make it 1/4 mile to a paved road. :lol2:
February 23, 201511 yr The insurance industry thanks you. Why would the insurance industry thank them?
