Agreed! Live across the sound from Seattle. Been driving all over the area without a problem.

Up here in Canada we've had a cold snap. Took the truck out on the coldest day (-27 F with a -58 F windchill). The truck did awesome, I was able to get everywhere. During the night it gets cold to the point that the moisture in the air freezes and falls to the ground. Made for some sideways fun. We haven't had as much snow as I would like though.

The other night it was -18 and my emergency brake was frozen but it popped off when I backed up. I'm really impressed with the battery that is original and still fires right up even with its 20 below.

Yeah....I live south of Seattle (Auburn). And MAN.....does the Dakota go in the snow. There wasn't a hill that thing couldn't handle. Unless the road was closed. Wasn't going to venture on to those roads. Too many downed trees, tree limbs, downed power lines from trees falling on them. That ice was pretty brutal.

Gotta love these Dakotas. Ain't nothing stopping these trucks when it comes to snow.
