[QUOTE="BDNorcalRaptor, post: 1251985, member: 27064"] [b]Snow Driving[/b] I took the Raptor out to some deep snow today and wanted to share my experience. My experience is very similar to Zane Master X. We were in heavy wet snow, about 2-3 feet. Icy in places and a bit slushy in others. I tried Mud/Sand Mode. At times mud/sand mode seemed to have too much torque and would cause me to spin out too easily and felt like I was riding a rodeo bull at times! Super fun but maybe not the best when trying to maintain traction and control. It was great at keeping forward momentum and blasting through the deep snow. Weather mode in 4H and rear diff locked worked well to maintain traction. The truck drove like a tank and my traction was incredible. The weather mode really tames down the torque and acceleration response and helps prevent wheel spin. However, when I would really get on the gas the power would cut out if you started getting sideways. That was both good and bad, it kept me from going off the road a couple of times but also almost got me stuck as I lost my momentum. One thing I didn't try but will next time is weather mode, 4H, rear diff locked, and TSC off. I agree with ZaneMasterX: - use weather mode in icy conditions and light snow. - In heavy deep snow weather mode, 4H, and rear diff locked worked great to maintain traction and control, but if you are in a situation where you need to maintain momentum use with caution or the TSC will cut your power. - Mud/Sand mode works great in deep snow but the extra power and torque can make the truck get away from you a bit and tends to cause more wheel spin, so you just really have to pay attention. Overall I was really impressed with how the Raptor performed in the snow, it was AWESOME. What have other people used in deep snow? [/QUOTE]
