Not Impressed

[mrtew]

Ok, I'm going to stop trying to reason with someone who wants to drive recklessly in poor driving conditions.

I doubt that! :-]

The point of 4wd and TOD in general is to make driving managable in poor traction conditions, not give reckless ******** a carte-blanche to compensate for some inadequecies against a jeep in snow.

You're always very antagonistic.

Oh, heres the reason why jeeps can do what they do:
GVW VX: 3955 Jeep: 5150 More than 1000lbs pushing those tires to the ground.

I disagree. I think it's because they shift into 4WD low instead of counting on TOD and winter buttons. I don't know if you actually read the posts you reply to but I'm telling you the VX can keep up with a Jeep just fine if you shift that lever.

The TOD isn't doing it for people or this thread would never have been started and lasted this long. Also I don't think weight is the answer because I always notice little skinny tired econocars like old Escorts etc going in the snow even faster and straighter than the Jeeps. That front-wheel-drive is the bomb... probably one of the reasons that locking our front wheels power on helps so much!
