i got stuck on a icy hill last year at a switchback right at the top and i forgot to try the diff lock before I winched out and later i remembered and got really mad at myself.there was a solid 10 minutes where i was telling my passenger lets see if crawl control can do it and it didnt work

it helps but how much loving help do you need going 60mph lmao. are you one of those people that NEEDs some big rear end engine to go 65mph as well?

also re the passing lane thing: I'm comfortable using it but you just gotta be gentle and read the conditions not just slam into that lane and floor the gas. I see a lot of dipshits get impatient and swerve over into that thing which is where you get hosed if the conditions are worse than you are expecting but to each their own I guess 🤷🏼‍♂️

well i would prefer to go slower but these idiots will go 60 when its ok to pass and 30 in a bad section when i would just be able to keep going at 50. you see. mother fucker !! im really gentle on the throttle. when i lose traction i gain it back everytime. im a born god

the dipshits going 75mph in a straight line then slamming the brakes to go 15 through a slight bend in the road are a pretty loving special breed and are almost always some fat dipshit in an american SUV/Truck that takes a good 5-10 minutes to psychologically break them into realising that they need to let my dinky rear end Corolla loving pass

If you aren't comfortable taking a slight bend in the road at anywhere near a normal speed in the snow even with some 80K SUV that might be a slight tip off that your rear end ain't built for winter driving and you should call an uber.

What’s also really bad are the brodozers with thousands of dollars thrown into their suspension who come to a dead stop and tip toe over a small, graded change in pavement height.

I understand I’m likely an outlier with most drivers everywhere in that I have an idea how slow and fast bump and rebound work since I can take my 86 over such a transition at the posted speed limit with no issues whatsoever.

It gives you better traction under acceleration, it does gently caress all under any other situation, you're actually part of the problem if you think otherwise. Four DRIVEN wheels, if they aren't driving it doesn't do poo poo for cunting fucks sake 😶‍🌫️

I don’t know about brodozer a but the SUVs slowing for any turn is because the few “luxury” SUVs I’ve driven are so loving soft in whatever “comfort” suspension mode that you feel like you’re going to loving tip over if you put anything through the loving car. It probably doesn’t help that you’re two stories in the sky.

I maintain that the Porsche Cayenne is the most dangerous car on the road at any time.

you dont have to be accelerating for it to help. you can keep driving a constant speed and it will help keep you stable. it also will keep better traction while turning. hint: turning is acceleration but i have a feeling you didnt mean it like that. you probably suck rear end at driving and slam your brakes into a icy corner and then loduly complain the 4x4 didnt help you loving moron

that poo poo sucks. i had a old crv that would only send power if the wheel was completely broken traction. like the wheel has to be turning 100% faster than the rest. That's more of a lability than a helpful feature because you should have already been off the throttle. subaru got it right but their cars all fall apart. p sure honda changed their cars since my crv and arent as bad anymore

Again I have to circle back to do you need this while doing 60mph? Maybe I'm just built different but I've always been fine driving some dinky rear end FWD car through the snow with studded winter tires and it's never felt like I was in any sort of danger of spinning out or losing complete control of the car.

im not putting studded tires on my cars because its also dry a lot. youre driving that clickety clack around all the time? do you live in ice road alaska where it makes sense? i mean it's fine you drive some lovely corolla you dont have to justify it to me. i can drive any car in the winter. any car. i drove a miata for years in ice. but dont tell me 4x4 doesnt give you superior traction cause you want to feel better

As a resident of phoenix it is imperative that you are driving 60 mph if not more. I dont know what snow is.
