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.

don't need to do that, you have a newer ford like me, so just download auto enginuity and ge the adaptor off amazon and go into your computer and change your daytime running lights to your park lights. that way you don't have the wear and tear on your expensive headlights. as for running the driving lights with out the headlight I would have to see if you can engage them in the park light setting if you can thats all you need to do, if not you might need a switch to cut out your headlights but I suspect that will bring up a check light and warning.
