I've heard that being fully locked in the snow can be dangerous, and is not recommended. Well, we got about 3" of snow this evening so I figured I'd drive around town and give it a go, as I have not had a chance to test my truck in the snow since being fully locked.
This was not an extensive test mind you, just some poking around, stop and go, hard turn test type things to get a feel for it. Basically, I didn't notice any ill effects at all. Turning hard while accelerating from a stop I barely even noticed the front locker. To me, my truck felt more stable in the snow fully locked, as opposed to 1/no locker(s).
For those of you with experience, can you tell me what I should be looking out for while driving fully locked on snow/ice?
