[QUOTE="Bad company, post: 123352, member: 1834"] For recommendations for settings in snow ON ROAD driving: 1. Click the 2x4 knob over to 4x4. 2. Leave everything else the hell alone. You do NOT need to disable stability control in order to "not get stuck". 1. Spinning wheels usually makes you more stuck. 2. traction/stability control applies brakes to the spinning wheel, sending torque to the wheel with more grip. Stability control has had the greatest impact on vehicle safety SINCE THE SEATBELT. More effective at preventing injury/death than airbags! One does not need to 4 wheel drift corners in the winter. It is however, fun. The biggest advantage that stability control provides is that it keeps your vehicle more or less pointed in the direction of travel. This allows the crumple zones to be crumple zones. You head is a crappy crumple zone. You are not a better driver than modern ABS, and you can not apply the brakes individually to straighten out a slide. These trucks ARE SPECTACULAR in deep snow. I drove through snow that was taller than the tires last winter during a blizzard. Just regular 4X4 and no other options selected. By all means shut it off if you want to have fun. But please be aware that the stability control can save your life. I was surprised by a patch of black ice a few years back, and because of stability control avoided a huge wreck. The car behind me was not so lucky. [/QUOTE]
