I went out for 2hours playing around in 4hi, and pulled 2 people out of ditches. i would switch to 2wd and it would just spin a ton, then hit 4hi, and it just got traction and went strait.

I told you 4wd is awesome, you never know when youre going to need it. Ill never own a vehicle that isnt 4wd unless I still have another 4wd to use.

I was out in Killeen this morning in my company truck which is an 08 F150 v6 open rear diff 2wd, the ground on the jobsite was frozen so it was fun drifting around on it. Some of the guys were using the big metal waste pans to ride down the hill like a sled

Told you they're surprising in snow and ice.

4wd is awesome, even if you only have to use it a couple times a year.

I went and played around this morning but with AWD it's almost not even fair, I'm out drifting around having zero issues and there are people scattered everywhere having failed from just trying to get from one red-light to the next lol, there was a couple of times where it wasn't wanting to turn and I just shot the throttle and went about my way
