There isn't enough clearance to run chains on the Crosstrek but I keep them in the Tacoma year-round.

We use winter tyres for the smaller car and chains for the 4x4. The former is way more practical, but sometimes you need the grunt...

I see his damage multiplier may have kicked in, too. 😆

Indeed! You need to get to the bottom of things, not float on top!

Also, 4WD doesn't make you stop any better.

I have a 4 Runner and found that out the hard way, luckily, only spun out, didn't go plunging down a cliff 😬
