A few years ago I got caught in a freezing rain/ice storm in PA with a set of mud tires on my truck. I got off the road and drank coffee at a diner until the salt trucks got out. The big rubber blocks with no siping don't like ice, at all.

Lol, kids these days. Meh, I can remember coming from my grandmother's funeral/viewing in 1996 and it was snowing like a banshee. Some guy in a Ford Explorer with 4WD goes past me on the highway (which wasn't even touched at this point, it was a 3' snow event) and then quickly swerves in front of me to make an exit ramp. He rolled it something good. I stopped to see if he was OK and thankfully he was. A State Trooper wasn't far behind and stopped and I continued on my way home. Yes, 4WD can help you go in the snow. It doesn't do shit on ice and it doesn't help you maintain control or brake. |

Kodiak will rain, then hard freeze overnight, then rain then hard freeze then rain. 2 inches of shiny plate glass on the roads with a fresh gale blasting in off the ocean. This lady was doing nothing wrong, just sitting still in hee van, but the crown of the road and the wind just slid her into the ditch. I can still see her silent screams through the windshield and i chuckle. We had an ice storm here a couple of years ago. Some young guys in a fairly new jacked up Silverado had stopped to help pull a car out of a ditch, it was in a bad place that always ices up on an uphill curve. I was just approaching them on my 4-wheeler when the parked truck started sliding on the ice they had stopped on. The driver and his buddy started toward the truck then had to jump in the ditch to keep from getting run over by it as it careened off the stuck car, did a 180 and came to rest on its side in the ditch. Both vehicles stayed there for 2 days until it thawed enough for a tow truck to get them out. |

Nice truck, but 'floatation' type tires aren't fer shit in most winter conditions. They tend to 'float' on top of crusted over snow pack...until you get several miles down the road and you break through the crust. Good luck getting your truck back up on the crust. Maybe in the spring.  I'd say that's "proven" to handle snow. And they did it while having road sodies

@pcsutton There's quite a difference between driving on ice and windswept tundra north of the arctic-circle and driving on a one lane forest service road in the mountains in the lower 48. In the latter case, if you break through the crust you'll be wishing you'd filled the bed with road sodies...'cause you have them all drank by the time you get your truck out of there. |

Still see plenty of 4x4s in the ditches but more cars. Maybe because I'm more rural so the 4x4s actually know how to drive but shit i dont know. |

Not even close. And when the snow gets deep, more ground clearance is required to keep moving. A stock truck with ATs starts to struggle with around 15 inches of heavy snow, but a lifted truck can go through substantially more. Umm, no. My unlifted 90 Cherokee got me around in 19" of snow plus the drifts over the road in 2011. Most of the trucks in the ditches were lifted 4X4's. I was leaving gas tank strap marks behind me, too. When I returned home I surfed the net and read of Subaru owners going out "trying to get stuck" and complaining they couldn't. Ground clearance is nice but not all that. You can lift a truck 6 feet in the air - but the axles are still down there bulldozing the snow. Ground clearance is calculated from the ground up to the LOWEST part of the vehicle, usually the center of the differential. It makes no difference where the floor boards are if they are still above the frame. This is why 4WD traction doesn't work the way you think it does. Most cars built for bad weather are AWD with shuttle clutches in the transmission to select which axle gets power. 4WD can't do that unless the transfer case has a working differential in it - and most don't. Now add no lockers - because most don't. My Jeep would lose it when one tire lost traction, my Forester will switch off front to rear drive and vice versa finding the one tire with traction. No lockers either. There's plenty of video out there to ruffle the feathers of plenty of brodozer owners. They are largely showboats, all exhaust and no real off road performance. And we haven't even begun to take on those with IFS - lift one and you are forced to drop the diff with a cradle to keep the CV shafts straight. Now even more junk hanging down. Give me portal axles and a 4 cylinder. BTW - why do we never see 4X4 trucks in rallies drifting at 55 on hairpin mountain curves in the trees? |
