Default 4x4 for the WIN

We got a surprise snow dump yesterday. Roads were basically impassible for anything but 4x4. I was in 4x4 (not AWD) in the below clip. Powered right up this VERY slippery hill. I am REALLY loving these Falken Wildpeaks!

The issue is it started as wet snow and the temp was 31. No treatment means LOTS of ice on the roads. I had to stop earlier in this same trip and when I put the car in park, just that jerk made the truck slide sideways about 2 feet. I was like uhh........... as I was sliding into the ditch. Stopped just short of the ditch.

Which Wild Peaks do you have? I have the AT3W's on my Ranger and Jeep, and the AT4W's on the 150, both work great in the snow and snow covered ice.

That's a normal day, maybe 1 inch of snow, maybe the videos misleading. But its a skiff.

But then im Canadian, we call a dump at least 6 inches of perspiration.

My front door and the valley got 6 to 18 inches of snow that just fell this morning.

I can’t imagine not having 4wd. I use it just backing out of my shop if it’s muddy or snowy. Then grabbing a trailer from out back, definitely need it if it’s wet at all.

We got maybe 3 inches of snow overnight. I'm in Denver, CO, and my snow shovel has been used only 4 times in the last 6 years. It's 41 degrees out and sunny, so only snow that's left is just on the grass. I looked to see if my ice scraper was still under my backseat, because I hadn't used it in soooo long. Please sent that snow my way!! I have not yet used the 4WD in my F150 since I got it a year ago.
