Do you love snowmobiling and generally raising hell in the deep snow but you don’t like having to deal with all of the cold air and snow in your face? You are in luck as there is a company now offering a product that can literally convert your Ram pickup into the ultimate snowmobile in just a few minutes. DF member PilotHouse2500 came across a video for the new snow driving product Track N Go which is a set of drive-on components that gives your Ram the same surefootedness as a snowmobile – times four.
While the initial poster in this thread included a video of a Chevy Silverado wearing the unique track setup, there is also a video later on in the thread showing a 4th gen Ram wearing the Track N Go system as it performs some mighty impressive feats. Along with just speeding through deep snow in a big open area, the Ram video shows this tracked up Dodge hitting a wall of snow that is up to the grille even with the extended height of the Track N Go system so based on what we see in these two videos – trucks equipped with this system should be just about unstoppable in even the deepest snow. The only bad news is that the Track N Go system retails for $25,000 so it is certainly not the ideal gift for the novice offroader but for those who can afford that kind of toy – it has to be an awesome experience to blast through the snow in the comfort of your Ram pickup.
"Before I was old enough to walk, my dad was taking me to various types of racing events, from local drag racing to the Daytona 500," says Patrick Rall, a lifetime automotive expert, diehard Dodge fan, and respected auto journalist for over 10 years. "He owned a repair shop and had a variety of performance cars when I was young, but by the time I was 16, he was ready to build me my first drag car – a 1983 Dodge Mirada that ran low 12s. I spent 10 years traveling around the country, racing with my dad by my side. While we live in different areas of the country, my dad still drag races at 80 years old in the car that he built when I was 16 while I race other vehicles, including my 2017 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat and my 1972 Dodge Demon 340.
"Although I went to college for accounting, my time in my dad’s shop growing up allowed me the knowledge to spend time working as a mechanic before getting my accounting degree, at which point I worked in the office of a dealership group. While I was working in the accounting world, I continued racing and taking pictures of cars at the track. Over time, I began showing off those pictures online and that led to my writing.
"Ten years ago, I left the accounting world to become a full-time automotive writer and I am living proof that if you love what you do, you will never “work” a day in your life," adds Rall, who has clocked in time as an auto mechanic, longtime drag racer and now automotive journalist who contributes to nearly a dozen popular auto websites dedicated to fellow enthusiasts.
"I love covering the automotive industry and everything involved with the job. I was fortunate to turn my love of the automotive world into a hobby that led to an exciting career, with my past of working as a mechanic and as an accountant in the automotive world provides me with a unique perspective of the industry.
"My experience drag racing for more than 20 years coupled with a newfound interest in road racing over the past decade allows me to push performance cars to their limit, while my role as a horse stable manager gives me vast experience towing and hauling with all of the newest trucks on the market today.
