[QUOTE="Gavin Allan, post: 1009166, member: 60736"] What is the "right way" to drive in snow with our Tracs? Pat gave some great tips for driving on sand in another thread. I would like to get some ideas from other Trac owners for driving in snow. I am ashamed to say that I have gotten stuck on level pavement in snow more than once in my 4WD Trac. Traction Control was worthless. Selecting 4X4 high or low was worthless. It seemed that if I could have kept my wheels spinning, I could have dug down to the pavement and got some traction, but instead the traction control seemed intent on preventing any wheel spin, and it alternated what little power was available back and forth from one wheel to another, but no spin. Turning Traction control off was no help either (holding the button down for 10 seconds). What am I doing wrong? I have not had this problem with other 4WD vehicles (rangers, B-4000s, Subaru Outback, CJ-7, etc.) [/QUOTE]
