Autosocks
I have new 3 peak mountain snowflake AT tires on my four wheel drive F350, and am travelling to Utah the end of December. I carry a set of cable chains I've never used, and am considering picking up ...

An update. I travelled to and from Utah with both the socks and the chains stored. Some areas were slow with vehicles that had slid off the road, but our traction was good at the slower speeds. The slowest part was not due to traction, but with visibility. A white out in the dark limited us to 20 mph going up one pass. This was with low beams and fogs on, and the headlight glare off the falling snow was blinding. I sometimes wonder about the move away from sealed beams to the style over function we apparently get today. Maybe I'll put the headlights on a switch so I can travel with DRLs and fogs only when conditions dictate.
No need for a switch unless your truck is different than every other truck of the last 20ish years. Turn your lights to parking lights only and you can use the oe driving lights without the headlights on.
Glad you didn’t need the arsenal of traction devices.

Thanks, I confirmed this last night. No way to get the DRLs on as I suggested, but I can have parking lights and fogs on together. I'll keep this in mind for the next whiteout in the dark.
