all that and a good driver. aka someone whos not scared to drive in snow lol will do ok. the yuppie dick or his wife are screwed. you know who im talking about lol
most people who have problems in snow with a 4x4 have no clue how to drive the car or truck at all with 4wd. then they think ass back wards and put it in the ditch because they forget its in 4wd and now the front end pulls, wheels turned the wrong way, and its over.
cant tell you how many times nailing the gas was a better idea then hitting the brakes for a save. and i've found my self in many 4 wheel slides going down hills in deep snow, with a plow on and a 1,000 lb on the back. your pretty helpless. last thing you want is the brakes most of the time, short of maybe stabbing them hard and letting them go, in an attempt to get it straight again.
came down a big hill once, un plowed, and iced under it, came to the stop sign, hit the brakes and got nothing, dropped the blade and threw it in reverse and floored it. i stopped 1/4 the way into traffic. yes i chit myself i bit...should have seen the passengers face lol
i got pretty good at drifting my trucks too.(in snow) in 4wd, its one crazy feeling. like i would tell every one, go play in a lot, make the car spin and try to save it, once you learn how to save it, when your car gets loose, you know what to do asap, and theres no real fear/ surprise.
