4.7 HO + trailer + snow???
Ok is there anyone on here that has a 4.7 HODakota Quad cab that has pulled a trailer in the snow? If so I'd like to know how it handled in it? I'm going to be going up north and yes we do get snow in some parts of Arizona
any info you can give me would be great...

Pulling a trailler on regular basis and winter time, it's in the snow... Not that much weight, 2 or 3 ATV'S but that's it... Handling great with the BF All Terrain. No need to put in on 4X4 since mine is AWD... I can assure that we have Snow up here... 3-4 feet of snow so far in this part of Canada...

I have pulled trailers in the snow. I am non-H.O but that shouldnt matter.
Just make sure that you take easy. the trailer is going to be the one that wants to walk on you during breaking. trailer brakes are very helpful there... but some trailers (most around here) dont have them.
Just keep the speed in check and point the truck in the right direction... its not bad at all.
good luck!

Yeah man I pulled a 12' Uhaul trailer last year up to my grandparents cabin in Heber/Overguaard and there was some snow on the road. Mine is only a 4x2 and it handled well. I just took it nice and easy the whole way up. Took a little longer than normally would but safety is a bit more importantwhen pulling a trailer in any type of weather, imo.

Guys thanks for all the input... I ended up not needing the trailer after all, but did spend some time in the snow! Just over a foot of it came down in Flagstaff, AZ in fact I just got home from there and have been on the road all day and I'm beat!! But will posted some photos when I get time, would have had some cool photos & video of me playing in the white stuff, but my brother in-law sucks big time in doing that!!
Again thanks!!
