Thumbs up 4ETS for the win!

I live in Southern BC, and we just got a dump of snow (and with it, ice)... I hit an icy patch and ended up in a ditch. I kicked in the Low Range, and dug myself out no problem... I just got this truck and it already saved my ass....

U seem to be proud of it, which u shouldn't.
U just got lucky that nothing broke, the car didn't tip over,...
Every situation is different so don't expect to get away with it every time.
Next time, drive more carefully!

Post Yeah Belgium...

but seriously, I had a skid off the icy road experience also. No matter how good the 4matic and traction system is, nothing short of chains will stop a slide on ice. $2200 later and a new front bumper I learned my lesson.
