If you are an experienced and capable winter driver you need not worry. You are probably used to driving slower than regular traffic which is helpful. The added weight over your rear axle gives added traction too. Think of all the rear wheel drive snoplows with a dump box full of sand. That is how I feel driving into the mountains in a snowstorm. I could not tell if you have 4WD. I consider that to be essential for winter driving. I also run Wrangler Silent Armor tires with the mountain/snowflake designation for superior handling. I carry chains as well since that is the law in California, however I have yet to use them with the TC. Kohldad made an excellent point about the advantage to having the TC if conditions warrant pulling over for a while. I have spent several nights in the camper waiting for avalanche control on the way to the ski area. Have fun!
