Range Rover Vogue - Steep Climb on Snow

2003 Range Rover Vogue

In the snow on the White Horse Bank, Westbury, Wiltshire.

This was the 3rd time I climbed the hill, the snow was really compacted, the horizontal lines were from my previous trips down with the HDC on.

Started to get really difficult to get up the hill as the snow was freezing to ice. With the exception of a P38, mine was the only car to make it up the hill.

Hi Dan - Our 1988 V8 coped with everything we had this winter 2009/10. While the old girl may be past her best, with Grabber AT2s fitted which are rated snow tyres no worries. Worth a thought or perhaps some Goodrige ATs ? As you say tyres are a big factor.

Intresting to see the feed back on how the gizmos worked. I will stick with the Classic for now., the RRs open diff worked a treat. I watched you other footage with HDC, etc. Of course it was not u filming I hope ;)

Excellent.

I'd already driven up it with ease a couple of times, but wanted to play and see how well DSC, ETC and HDC performed. Even with barely legal tyres it was fine.

should have gunned it all the way up, i got stuck in a seat ibiza FR fwd, ended up hitting a slope at 60 n hoped for the best, it worked and mine were virtually slicks,

The only problems are tyre.

My old RR 4.6 are equipped with winter tyre and I have no problem with snow.

Even if the weight would work against the correct tyre (like Nokian winter) are the right choice.

I had barely legal goodyear wranglers, they were the worst tyres for any weather I've ever used!

I bet this is a lot of a steeper slope than the video can convey.

That was awesome, the deep breath and wiper part for whatever reason made me LOL. Nice climb
