Driving in Snow

Hi Folks.In other rear wheel drive cars i have driven in the snow not 4X4's i might add i have sometimes put a load in the back.This year i will have a frontera on the road and for the first time and in a 4X4 over the winter period

. I was wondering has anybody ever felt the need to do this in a frontera.

Ive never had to put a load in the back of mine to drive in the snow.

I have and would never put an extra load in the back of my fronty, besides, i look forward to the snow and GETTING the back end out on the fronty with a little or a LOT of extra teasing on the throttle/hand brake/brakes or Scandinavian flick as SO i can get the back end out!! :lol:

I barely have the need for 4x4 round here never mind the need to load up the arse to gain grip. Although last year there was a time when a 18ft brian james car trailer on the arse with a corsa c on it on a flat road wouldnt give me grip so endedup driving the 6 mile journey in 4x4 due to how slippy the roads where.

I have never found the need to add weight.......wether it was a 4x4 ( shogun,range rover ) or a saloon or estate......if accleration is smooth and gradual, breaking light and gradual.....progress can be made.....u may get the occasional twitch, slide but thats half the fun.......have had to reverse up hill once or twice, with a front wheel drive automatic, all adds to the fun :lol:

Iv got a 2x2 slab in the back of mine and a bag of rock salt i love how tail happy it is but my passengers dont lol

Last year i did 2200 miles in heavy snow and blizzards all in one week from Livingston to Allness and never had a problem.
I never needed to put any weight in, but i do have a great set of chunky tread ATs. :wink:

Ohhh-err the only person who I know who puts a lot of weight in the back is Drift, he done it when he was driving a bus for a living.
