DRW in snow, off road, etc.
I'm closing in on a RAM 3500 DRW but have some questions about off road and snow travel.
If I don't have the TC on top, I see these things don't do well in snow. Some people have talked about airing down, about throwing weight in the back, about removing the outside wheels, or some combination of all of the above. What is SOP for improving snow handling when the bed is empty? Snow tires? I don't think I'd do this often as I have an old toyota RAV4 with 4x4 and snow tires which does just great and I plan to keep that vehicle..
With the TC on, I'm sure it will handle better in snow. To go to the ski resort sometimes M&S tires or chains are required. do I need 4 or 6 snow tires for this application?
Finally, off road, with or without the TC in place: I'm not rock-climbing or anything, but want to be secure crossing low streams and deep holes or maybe even some light sand. Is the DRW ok for this? I see some folks air down for sand, that's a pretty easy fix because it would be a rare occasion that I would do that.
thanks
