Snowed last night, several inches on our steep hill. Finally got to use my 4wd.
Parent is driving my son home from a party, very slippery they say, can’t get to my house. I offer to pick up my son at the park and ride.
Put truck into 4wd low and crawled up the hill. Yes I had a bit of 4 wheel spinning but the truck ground its way up the hill with very very little stress. At the top of the hill I switched back to 2wd and truck wouldn’t move. I guess having the weight of that engine over the front wheels really helps with traction. Thing feels unstoppable in 4wd low but would probably be useless on water ice. Can just imagine what it could do with chains, already feels like driving a bulldozer.
Picked up son and went for a late night tour. 10pm, no one out but gangs of children with sleds. We take the scenic route home up and down every steep hill we can find. Driving slowly and my son picks out some Miles Davis to listen to.
