My scorpions can't grab at all in 2WD, it's awful. Have to go to 4WD even in light snow. If you even try to get on the gas in a light rain it's bad, I've been going 40mph, accelerate a bit and feel the backend slide out.

I've never really been happy with the stock Goodyear Wrangler tires Ford uses. Also received horrible miles on the stock Wrangler tires with my '99 F150. After that first pair on the '99, I purchased Bridgestone AT Revo tires and absolutely loved them - traction, handling and mileage was awesome. I swear I was getting 65,000 miles minimum on the Revo's. Not kidding - replaced the first set of Wranglers after 35K with Revo's. Traded in the '99 with 150K on the truck and a second set of replacement Revo's and the dealer indicated there was at least 30K left on that second set.

I'll likely go a different route this time and go with some beefier tires like the Nittos for looks and traction. I love the looks of the Nittos. It'll be interesting to compare them with my Revo experiences while comparing the balance and looks.

I traded my 2003 Tundra in for my 2011 F150. Both are 4WD but no locker diff on the Tundra. Even with good snow tires, the Tundra struggled to start up a hill in 2WD. The F150 with Wranglers, much better with the E-locker in 2WD.

2wd or 4wd drive it like I stole it one handed drinking a coffee. When no one else is around of course

4WD handled the snow with stock tires. These photos are from the day after an 18" snowfall in Princeton, N.J.
