Here in the northeast we've been having a pretty f**k up cold winter so far. This morning it was -6F when I got up, tying the coldest morning from last week. We had 15" of snow here on Thursday (I worked from home) and it was a slippery ride to work the next day (and yesterday morning) in my truck with almost 200K miles on it and 80K miles on the old tires!
My truck had 4WD, at least. The previous Frontier I had was 2WD and I could only do so much with adding weight in the bed to get traction on bad days, and vowed I'd never NOT have 4WD/AWD again - at least while living up here.
Yesterday finally got my new wheels - delay at the port due to the weather, than delay at the dealer's due to huge volume of sales over the New Years weekend, and then the snowstorm. Hope this lasts me as long as my Nissans did - but at lower maintenance cost. Nissans are good, but parts are prohibitively expensive.
