My first winter with mine and absolutely love it. Heated seats and steering wheel with remote start is a very nice touch. Have been pleasantly surprised at the stock 20" tires. They aren't studded snow tires, but I drive in a bunch of ice and snow and have felt they perform quite well for what they are.

Mid 30s in Maryland with a high of 40 tomorrow. The only mosquitos and geckos I'll see this winter are on the National Geographic Channel, and the only sweating I'll do is chasing the wife around the bedroom. :-)

Snow big time
Today was the first time in deep snow, icy intersections
Wow, I am very impressed with the AWD and the new snows
Toyo GSI5's. Everyone else ***** footing around and struggling to get
started. The Durango just pulled away at icy intersection and straight.
There is almost a foot of snow out there now

First big snow storm here today too. Hard pack snow prior to plowing. OEM all seasons were pretty good in usual traffic but the heavy truck really slides while slowing or stopping on a decline regardless of the ABS. Kind of unnerving at first. Have to adjust the distance you follow at. If you are close and someone hits the brakes and sticks, you're hitting them. I'm looking at snows now. Probably $1,200 CDN for Blizzaks.

well, I got my first test - two storms of 6-8 inches - one Saturday and another yesterday - I am very impressed! my tires did not spin out once. I did get rid of the stock Michelins and replaced them with some Parada Spec-X, so maybe that had something to do with it, but wow was I impressed.
