This was from last winter... sunk it to the axels a couple times when I got off the snowmobile tracks.
Got some funny looks from the riders that passed me while getting it out

Which tires do you have and how would you evaluate your truck's performance on all that snow?

It was the factory Goodyear wranglers, aired down to around 20psi, Also had the back tires chained up.
It did better than my friends Chevy with the KO2s, but that was probably due to driver skill and traction control. I'd say it didn't do too well, but I kinda hate the wrangler tires anyway.
This was at Stampede Pass, near Snoqualmie Pass in Washington state. The snow was very heavy, wet, and would compress into a slick hard surface with zero traction. It was fun though!

Yes, driver's skills are something that lacks a lot in here.
My wife is a very skilled driver (maybe better than I some times), she used to do rally stunts back in the day, but never had time to follow professional. Anyway, she drives her Grand Caravan with good winters up slippery hills where some people with 4WD or AWD won't go up and through some deep snow as well. She makes it seem easy!
Truth is most inepts here they know nothing about TC on or off, good tires or anything. I've seen 4x4 trucks driven by people that were skidding sideways and not going anywhere, because they thought the truck engaged 4H by itself
Well, driving schools here don't teach people how to use and deal with a vehicle. They just teach signs and if the car is above 20MPH to use the brakes and keep left lane lol!
Keep on having safe fun there bro!
