They’re even more dangerous than usual, be VERY VIGILANT.
My little car is in shambles (I need a large SUV with AWD to drive if there is snow on the ground, or too strong of a breeze)
yeah trucks are also terrible in the snow and always have the most overly confident drivers. By far the most common type of car to see stuck in a ditch during a snowstorm in my mountainous area.
Yup turns out when they designed the trucks they actually expected people to periodically use them to transport stuff and the modern iteration of trucks with zero weight over the rear axle in a rwd vehicle doesn’t work that well.
I literally thought the newest generation of rams had an indented grill off the lot because I never saw one that hadn’t crashed straight into something.
My highly unscientific research involves a disproportionate amount of white dodge rams in ditches after a snowstorm but there’s also a disproportionate number of them around being driven by the dumbest guy from your high school class.
The prophets foretold it
A 20 year old accord with worn all seasons is better in the snow then most of these massive chudmobiles. And that’s before you factor in the mindset to take low traction as a sign of disrespect that has to be corrected by flooring it and oversteering into a ditch.
If the 94 honda accord has no fans, then I am no longer on this earth
That said, I have no idea on what basis you make that first claim lmao. Is it SABILITRAKTM that you take issue with?
First car was a 98 civic i got for free because my uncle didn’t feel safe driving it anymore just because it didn’t have a working speedometer and the passenger door only opened from the inside.
Whays the first claim? it being better in the snow?
Front the wheel drive is just generally better than rear wheel drive in snow.
That’s before you factor in the rear wheel drive vehicle doesn’t have any weight on the rear axle and is being driven by somebody who’s idea of off reading is driving over a curb in a parking lot.
Idk what the 4wd capabilites of the biggest trucks are because I actively avoid being in them if I’m relying on a vehicle to keep me safe in poor conditions but even if the front axke is performing great the back end is still going to be doing everything it can to oversteer and chuck it in a ditch.

I used to drive a Miata in snow up to maybe 4 inches before clearance became an issue. These trucks with all-terrain tires are dangerous because AWD gets them off the line quick, but when it comes to braking they are as limited as anyone else not running winters.
extremely funny how prevalent is “my all-seasons are fine, I have AWD”
Me too. Miatas are pretty capable in the snow as long as you have good tires. The limited slip differential on some trim levels helps a lot too. The cold is another matter though. My heater would barely keep up, and the plastic rear window cracked when it was 20F.
Truck drivers getting stuck in their own driveways while my ebike is unstoppable in all terrain except for water deeper than half the tire height (why would you attempt this)
meanwhile chaddingtonthermoculous II is busy pumping their 20kg walmart mountain bike with studded tires
Love 2 bike
Love u 2
My little car is fine because I drive stick.
And because I don’t drive like a total dickweasel
My car is now stuck in place until spring. I should have bought a Tahoe
I also drive like a dickweasel, which is why it’s ‘parked’ on the front lawn
ew
yeah when I was a reckless dipshit kid (and when I still drove a car lmao) I still had the good sense to go drift in the snow in empty parking lots and shit, but big truck motherfuckers just do it in the road, or in traffic.
Sometimes I wonder if its even intentional or they actually just don’t know how to control their vehicle in the snow because I see them fishtailing ALL THE TIME
Trucks fishtail in the snow because of the lack of weight over the rear tires. If you absolutely have a drive a truck in the snow you should load up the bed with some sandbags, but of course most truck bros are cruising around with an empty bed so they just slide all over the fucking place.
Are you implying they aren’t hauling some heavy, important cargo in the box of their truck?
My hopes, dreams , and aspirations I tell you what.
My dad would even do this with his itty bitty ford ranger, the last proletarian truck manufacturered in
Most of these chuds probably dont even know to do that
Rear wheel drive vehicles with an empty bed… 45,000$ penny racers is what they are.
Three inches of snow = three inches of rock hard manhood
Snow tires, get them.
ok bridgestone I’m sorry
I live in the only place in North America that mandates them, and it’s absolutely nuts to me that they aren’t mandatory pretty much everywhere it snows ok the regular. They make such a difference.
I drove through this place last winter, thankfully I had my winters on
Only applies to in province plates obviously…
oh yeah, obviously.
That’s a lot of ticketing revenue left on the table.
A controlled right foot is better in the snow than any chudtruck.
Fun pastime of mine is challenging SUV drivers on why they need it lmao. Didn’t your grandpappy make it, driving an adorable lil car?
Pretty sure accountants wanting to tell themselves theyre a real man like their dad who needed a pickup truck to actually transport stuff for their job is part of the problem.
