I have RWD only and it's not a problem. It's all about the tires being good or trash for the weather.I'm sure it's not what you had in mind when they told you about global warming...
BTW, although I've had 4WD for many years now, I always felt more confident using a FWD in the snow and we have lots over here; grass is white from December to April. "Oh what fun it is to ride in a ..."
I just replaced all 4 tires on the truck a few weeks ago.. they have thick tread so I think it helps.
Sure it helps some in the snow. For the good traction you need soft rubber winter tires or studs.
Absolutely ! Just like going to war with a Swiss Army knife... It never fails; every year, at the first major snowfall, most cars you will see in the ditch are AWD's and 4WD's as drivers think that they can go through sand, gravel and mud without a problem... They just forgot the most important factor that is ultimately linked with snowy conditions: ICE !!!
Wow, I gotta send my snow plow guy down there to plow those roads for you! You are just literally waiting for the snow to melt, that's just insane to me.
Yup.. they are not plowing anything...that's why the south shuts down...
Greetings from the snowy north - I get a kick out of watching 4x4's speeding down ice covered roads - they seem to forget that their brakes work just like 2w drives. Sorry you're going through that down there.
OMG, I just saw your tag line...Assistant to the Regional Manager. I'm laughing so hard! That is awesome, I wish I had thought to do that!
I noticed that too. love it!
Hope you and your loved ones are alright down there.
