Re: Rangers in the snow!
Oh. That sounds fun. (He says sarcastically) but as long as the weathers good it should be fine.

it all depends on how much snow is on the ground....I have gone through drifts up to my headlights with no issues (with a/t tires) never used chains in my life...

Re: Rangers in the snow!
First time driving in more than an inch of snow. I was happy with how well the ranger did.

I was less than thrilled with how it handled ice, however:

Though if I'm honest it was mostly my fault for going too fast down an icy shelf road

Yep, would've helped for sure. I'm not up in the mountains all the time though so I've been looking at getting a set of chains.
