doesnt matter what vehicle you have on ice . Need decent tires with studs on Ice.

@cds417 the 06-10 Explorers do not have a dedicated 4x2 mode. Instead, it has a computer controlled AUTO mode that switches between 4x2 and 4x4 high depending on the amount of wheel slippage the computer feels.

does it have esp or traction control ? Just curious

[cds417]

did that with my 03. yo have to dig it out all around the tires and shovel under near the axle to free it up, and then rock it back and forth.

my dad has one just like it, the stupid suspension in the back rides so low it gets hung up. after 4 low and a little rocking i made it out no problem

I had those damn highway Michelins for one day and got them the hell off my 02. I've ran Revos and now have Firestone all-terrains, never a problem in deep ass snow. Rarely even need to lock in 4x4.

My dad has an 02 2 door and

It does great in snow
