my suggestion would probably not be good due to racing history.
however i think it would depend on how severe the conditions are

17 years of off road. 2 years as a driving instructor.
rain- leave everything on

sand- 4wd or 2wd depending on size. ORM, trac all the way off (push and hold) diff locked.

mud- dont have a lot of mud time in this truck. The traction control is active and puts the power where it needs to go so probably only 1 push.

gravel/dirt road- ORM push and hold trac 2wd

snow- LEAVE EVERYTHING ON. Trac saved me so many times in the winter! It will brake one side if you start to get pulled into a drift on the freeway. It actually got to the point to where it cut power and applied the brakes and slowed me to below 35mph on its own to keep me on the road. my foot never touched the brakes.

Probably. I started around 6. Of course that's just quads, not cars. Although I did start driving our old jeep around the deer lease when I was 12. Learned to drive in that thing, 79 CJ5

I started quads at 4 then jeeps and buggies at 8.

i couldnt drive until i was 18. i moved out of my parents house when i was 15 and they wouldnt sign for my license. so as soon as i turned 18 i enrolled in racing school.

whtrapta has it down but I would say time behind the wheel in each of those conditions will give you the best knowledge of what works for you and how to handle the truck correctly.

I just turn off trac control every time I get behind the wheel and use m to shift. Never use off road mode, and either run 4hi or 4lo depending on conditions
