Default Snow and 4x4

I have always been a street truck guy. However, those of us in Nebraska have been under a Blizzard warning with 1ft snow, lol. I think I have been converted into a 4x4 fan. My wife's Durango handles the snow like a champ and the truck has stayed in the garage.

Nope, my dak is 2wd. It has 4.10 gears and corporate rear but is not match for the deep snow, lol. My Nitto street tires certainly aren't helping matters either.

8" of snow since 530 this morning.

My dad and I started plowing/shoveling snow at 530 and there was only 2", now there is at least 10.

And it's 28 degrees, so it's HEAVY snow, which sucks for shoveling

First big snow fall in Toronto finally. Tried getting out of my gfs unplowed driveway in 2WD...wasn't happening. Through into 4x4 and boom, out in a jiffy. Was awesome. So glad I took the time to make sure I found a 4x4.
