Default snow limit

I finally found out how much snow my truck could not go through, was busting drifts trying to get home the other night and made it about half way through a 4 ft drift that was about 25ft long (best guess), did get stuck, rolled my window down and climbed out (door wouldnt open)to see which directionI was pointed because it was a total whiteout, got back in and was able to rock it out and then I had to turn around go back to where i started. Next time, hotel will be my only destination. Took me 1.5 hrs to go 4 miles, what a night.

That's about how much snow I was in back in December when my steering damper decided to depart the truck. Never got stuck though. I love driving in snow!!

Your better than me, I justcouldnt make it through it and was afraid of ramming it to hard, it did good for about 10 seconds and then came to a halt. No way I will ever try that again. Was afraid of destroying front end parts and my motor got packed with snow.

I have a slopped driveway....and with all the snow we got I could eat up it in 2......My moms b/f has a 97 2500 with like 285/75/16 all terrains and when I moved it it got stuck in 2. Tires make all the difference.
