The type of snow makes a big difference. It's a lot easier to move in 4 inches of light powder versus 4 inches of the heavy wet snow.

So, I'm guessing that you're not getting the part about another vehicle marching through the stuff when the old F150 wouldn't. Reminds me of driver error too. Also, have you driven on a snow covered one lane road in Eastern Kentucky? I suppose driver error also kept a local ambulance from being able to traverse a snow covered road just this morning. The patient had to be transported to the ambulance via ATV. I'm sure that had nothing to do with a steep grade or anything like that.

Right, it's not the truck it's me! I'd say after 20 years of driving through snow I have lost my driving abilities. My F250 must have been doing the real work all those years.

The real challenge is getting traction on wet/packed streets. Something I am slightly disappointed in with my own truck.

I appreciate the feedback, kidastra!
I apologize Red13...been a stressful evening and sarcasm from the interwebs isn't helpful when you're trying to figure out why your pickup won't do what your wife's CHEVY can! I mean, how would you feel for you had to ditch your prized FORD for a CHEVY? I'm ashamed enough as it is! ha!
