[QUOTE="bfr, post: 1367623, member: 409"] I felt the same way when I got my Gen2. "No way the truck can do better than amazing me!" And I drove in 4A a lot during the first month of winter. Having been to Raptor Assault, but more importantly having driven in significant amounts of snow and ice covered roads and variable chunky melt through two Wyoming winters...now very few days go by in the winter that I don't switch to Weather as soon as I leave my driveway. Sure it's fun to wait until you've turned the 1st corner and swung the rear end around but other than that it just doesn't cut it in true winter conditions. I understand that most of the country does not experience these conditions with the regularity that we do, so maybe the need for control is not so prevalent. You do have to learn to mash the accelerator a bit more to jump it out of the dead feeling, but at a 100 times per second or whatever the sampling rate is of the wheel slippage sensors, the programming is way more adept at driving the truck to the limits than little ol' ego-man me. When it can get traction, it does! Every day, pulling onto a busy, icy 2-lane highway where getting up to speed is important the truck exceeds my effort every time. Sad, but true. :) [/QUOTE]
