Need your support for the ram trucks on youtube, also need your Comments

 

Looks like you had a blast!

 

many years we didn't see snow in our country , ten years ago or more we used to see snow reaches to 30" height and more in our city , though i was able to see how the cooper zeon LTZ performs on light snow

 

Playing on snow almost all the time on 2 wheel drive

Fun stuff, but looks like there were a few closer than I'd like to do calls....

poles,ditches and other vehicles. Guess I'm getting too old.

I'da been worried that car would slid back down that hill they could barely make it up..haha

I like playing in 4wd, more control and more fun but you need a larger area ofcourse. This Ram can atleast spin around, where as my Regcab Silverado wouldn't no matter how hard I tried. Wheelbase length I'm assuming, cuz that Silvy stuck to the road like glue.

I've noticed my QC Ram like to Push in 4wd around turns.(when front tires are turned, truck wants to go straight) Not sure again if it's the length in wheelbase or the LSD causing it??

As far as the LTZ's go....They are fairly good in the snow. I've had better tires, but then again, these are a Hybrid, not necessarily made for mud/snow. LTZ's are awesome in the rain!
I'll give my ratings again:
10/10 dry
10/10 wet
7/10 snow
6/10 clay mud
7/10 loose stone

 

if ur truck goes straight maybe the tires grip is not good, nothing to do with the LSD , i have LSD and it don't make my truck go straight like what ur saying , and yes on 4 wheel better control , zeon's in light snow i give 5 out of ten, on sand its 10 out of ten as on dry , wet i give it 8 out of ten

 

It doesn't go completely straight, but it has a tendancy to push some.
We have the same truck, same tires, so you should be able to experience what I do, although I have driven in alot more snow than you so I have experienced this effect more... I've also had a direct comparison to a short box reg cab that didn't do this. Maybe you never had any comparison to understand what this feeling is?
I've been driving 4wd trucks in the winter for 14yrs now, so it def does push more than usual. When I say usual, I mean more than most trucks. It very well could be the Zeon tires not gripping well????

 

i know what ur talking about ( i ve been driving 4X4 's since 1978 always my second car was a 4X4 but now i have 4 of them ) , in past years before the year 2003 we use to have more than 30" packed snow on our roads but i use to drive my jeep and i always air down the tires for better grip, in my ram this is the first time to drive it on snow and coz i air down the tires to around 20 psi it don't do that ,Next time when it snows i ll keep the air 35psi and see if it does that and i think it will do that coz also its heavier at the front end due to the engine , and yes Zeon tires do not have good grip on light slippery snow as the toyo open country have or as the cooper discoverer A/T ,also with my modified range rover's for offroad use one with michlen tires and one with toyo the one with michlen tires tend to go straight like u say even on wet roads unless i air down the tires , the other one with the toyo acts good (the tire grip helps a lot) and both have mechanical diff locks not LSD , my brother's avalanche z71 tends to go straight as well unless we air down the tires for better grip, i will try my friend's rumble bee in snow to feel the difference between the two trucks

 

WHere do y'all live?
