Default Re: Chrysler Rear Drives In The Snow

Heh. I have a 2x4 Ram HEMI truck with nothing but a limited slip diff and I drove through the snow storm yesterday with no drama. Just need to know how to drive those sort of vehicles. But it sounds like traction control technology has come a long way. No need, really, for AWD anymore.

awd and 4wd gives people a false sense of security.
like ive said before, its great to be able to go but occasionally it is important to stop or turn. after the icy conditions last night im sure auto body shops have got their hands full for the next few weeks.
