No

We have a 2010 Dodge Nitro and my trusty ole 2000 Ford Explorer XLT for that.

Hell, I've had my 5.0 now for a year and 3 months and still haven't cracked 4000 miles...

It was for a couple of years. Iv driven through some crazy weather, and idk how i made it but i did :rockon:. Ill never forget driving through west Virginia mountain highways, up through a cloud, on bald tires in January.... If i went more then 5 mph i would lose traction and roll backward. But i made it :banana:

In the 3.5 years iv had my car iv gone from 9,000 miles to 41,000

No way! Drive my truck. 600 horse and snow, not a good combo around here.

been DDing mine year round for 3 years. driving in the snow sucks...but i do it. i have around 300lbs worth of barbells that i throw in the trunk, which help out A LOT with traction in the snow...and especially when trying to get going/started from a dead stop. i also have a small snow shovel, that i carry. i have gotten stuck a few times...and thats when the snow shovel comes out. it definitely comes in handy, if you are going to be driving in the snow/ice. but the main thing....is take it SLOW. let everyone else try to be bad asses and drive all fast, switching lanes. just go slow and steady.

edit: i should prob add that although i DO drive my car in the snow/ice, it is usually a LAST RESORT. i try using a different vehicle first, if at all possible....then only use mine if i just absolutely HAVE TO go to this place, (wherever and for whatever), and dont have any other way of getting there.

Mine pulled daily driver for a month back in Aug/Sept... and I almost put the car in the ditch a few times due to drag radials and standing water. Def had to clean the shat outta my pants a few times. Needless to say I have a beater now!!!
