This is yesterday up in a nearby mountain .General GT's snow and gravel program and is she is unstoppable

Does that program allow you to spin them quite fast and still keep all four turning when it gets really steep?

Any time BB, any time. would love to show you around my neighborhood .

rodp, this is video from last year, slope is 30~35 deg. and on top is more like 45, same program ,put her in D and she goes up without problems whatsoever. it is this ease that is amazing. it never feels like you gonna get stack or something.

nino , you will eventually run out of grip, can you then spin the wheels but keep power to all? Does the traction control work to keep power to all?

Yes it does , it locks central differential and, if not enough, usis ABS on the spinning wheel. you can hear and feel rapid brakes aplikacion. if i was buying car new i would speck locking rear diff. to.

However in deeper snow, there are times when you want to power through the deeper stuff ... and you end up fighting the traction control system. i.e. you ask for more to get the wheels spinning, and the system kills the power cause the wheels are spinning. In those cases the normal setting can be better.

Helps to turn off DSC in deep snow (as per owner handbook).

Yes nice but not really any amount of snow ,no better fun than pushing through snow over 1 foot deep with spells of 3 foot drifts.
