Default First Legit Snow Storm in Denver.

Gotta say I love my truck even more now. I have a 2010 Scab 4x4 with a 3v 4.6 with no mods. This truck has some nads. Drove through 18 inches of snow with ease and I was very surprised when I was able to pull my dads 8k pound F250 out of a 3 foot snow drift with minimal effort. Also the gas milage when in 4 hi is amazing at least by my standards.

I want to hear others experiences with they're 2009-12 F150s in snow.

I actually get better gas mileage in 4hi then I do in 2 wheel drive (I don't get it). Truck drove like a champ today and even had fun pulling out a BMW M3 from a snow drift

I have had mine through some pretty deep snow this year and the truck preforms well, even with the stock Perrellis everyone hates!!

The dynapros never came as a factory tire. If they did that would be awesome!

I have a 2011 4x4 3.7. It has the stock 18" goodyear SRA. I think it does great in the snow. I'm pretty sure it has to do with the advancetrac. Without it I wouldn't be comfortbale driving my truck in snow with all seasons.

They are ok tires. They have have pretty good traction in snow which is important to me. But other than that I don't really like them. They ate way to soft, but then again that comes from them being P rated tires maybe if they were Lt rated I'd like them more.

I drive between park meadows mall and franktown everyday. And the snow was no problem. I have to turn off advance traction control every time it snow because it keeps messing up my power sliding! Just kidding, but seriously advance traction control takes all of the fun out of driving in colorado snow. But it would be wonderful for someone who does not know how to drive here.
