the vx and the snow

[VXIRONwoMAN]

Off roading in the snow or just on the street? Well , I moved to Chicago just in time for last years winter. I had never seen nor been in or around snow before, and I am still in one piece. The Winter Mode is a wonderful thing! I needed to tug people out from their parking spots a couple times (Gill/nocturnalvx included). But that's because his parking spot was on a huge snow mound, and he got high centered.

Maybe Gill can help with this... he's lived in/around the snow forever.

Let's just say that my VX helped me make a few enemies at the last place I worked. A few years ago we got a HUGE overnight snow. My commute was about 50 miles, and I made it in to work when a few people who lived right there in town didn't. Needless to say I wasn't very popular with my co-workers for awhile after that.

It was a fun ride in that day though.

At that time, I was at stock ride height with stock wheels and tires. So yes, the VX is very capable in the winter right out of the box.

my girlfriend is comin out in december, right after christmas, so I wanted to take her either up north in az or go to colorado. I was looking at goin to telluride, seems like a nice small town to just get away to. The vx is an amazing machine, more capable than a landrover discovery, just minus the luxories.

...and significantly less likely to break down!

Lets put it this way - if it gets through the mud that Alan and I put ours through then snow is no problem just check out youtube for the VX in snow doing doughnuts

yea i saw the video. dont get me wrong, landrover is still king off road. they even have the heated front windshields with the lines, the same way the rear defroster works. And the defender is above all. But for what this vehicle is, its the best bang for the buck for great off road capabilities. Has anyone gone to telluride? They looked like they had some trails
