Yoopers! Spent a lot of time in crivitz and parts north since Marinette was our close town. Have all my yoopers cd's!Choices, Amen. Winter tires help, but up here, doing 1500-2000 miles per month for the winter 5 or 6 months, they only last a couple years then it's a grand for another for a new set (mounted and balanced). Might be worth it? My experience is mud tires are a worse answer for ice and snow. Chains are a PITA, but the good answer for ice. When I lived on the Oregon coast and did a lot of winter steel head fishing, black ice was common when heading up into the coastal range. Rain in town at sea level and ice in the hills and mountains. Most of the steel headers put chains on around 500 - 1000ft elv. There was an ongoing debate about 4WD vs 2WD. Seemed to be some consensus about 4WD going up, 2WD coming down. The additional drag of the engaged front wheels can cause them to skid on rapid deceleration. Often leading to an adrenalin blast and a tighter grip on the steering wheel. Ah choices, life is full of them and sometimes we make the right ones, sometimes not.
See you run a Tundra. I had a 2009. Loved it, not so much the gas mileage and it was tight in my garage. Traded it for a Colorado. Bad choice - the gas pedal and the transmission couldn't seem to get on the same page. Dealer software flashes didn't help. Driving a 4runner now and it's a great vehicle but this Broncho is winking and nodding at me!
Your complaint about the avalanche is what I had in my 01 taco. Always Hunting gears....
Tundra is a great truck.... But fun? Time for fun.
Can't decide on 4A.
