That is my concern! We do have 4x4...and that is great...I have driven through all kinds of crap...as ticki noted...once you start to go...that's it until you hit something (or run out of steam). Here in New England, the roads can get very slick (black ice... we call it!)and anyone who has spent time driving here has spun into a ditch at one time or another. Sometimes you get lucky; lock the hubs and drive out. Other times...not so lucky...mr. tree gets in the way (or another car). This is why we usually wait until late Feb/early March to load the TC. The skiing is still great, but the icy storms are usualy gone, so driving is fine.
My truck can be fixed...I have to think sliding into a ditch (even slowly) is going to be bad news for a TC.
