Drove the red truck for several Ohio winters until I moved to Texas. I think the bigger problem here is people having zero experience with bad weather and thinking 4x4 makes up for experience.
Exactly, I recently bought a new Nissan truck and got 4x4 . Love it...
You obviously haven't driven in Piedmont. Some of their potholes swallow 747's, from the air.
My brz with sports tires does better than my Jeep Wrangler did when I had mud tires on it. My jeep kills it with my all terrains with actual siping. Traction control on the brz really helps, but summer tires at 40 degrees and under is just bad. I wouldn't even try to drive it in this stuff. Now sports cars with winter tires, that is just flat out fun.
Just own several types of cars or trucks for any season.
Congrats, now you will just get stuck and/or high centered in harder to reach places. Not that I would know anything about that. (My wife is still mad, 10 year later)
Full tank of gas and 100lbs of sand in the trunk goes a long way, some people just can’t drive in this. I’ve driven everything from “sports cars” to Peterbuilts in winter and do think there’s an appropriate tool for the job but you work with what you’ve got. I don’t get into the vehicle snobbery. To me it’s like some jackass telling what guns you “need” vs what they are comfortable with.
