Talk to me about Buffalo, NY

[2kwik4u]

Welcome to "The Great White North"...lol
It is more about what tires you are running than the AWD/4WD vehicle they are on. That Chevy has a narrower tread footprint than your Rivian. I can see from the tracks the Chevy is making good contact and are probably snow tires.
When I had an 8' plow on the 06 2500 Duramax, I ran Cooper M/S series, studdable, but not studded. Never had issues starting or stopping.

I am sure the interior of that old Chevy does not compare to the Rivian.

Talked to him this morning. Still the same crappy All Season tires I had on it. Although he said he's got an appointment for Saturday to get snow tires fitted. I got that truck stuck in wet grass a couple summers ago on those same tires. I'm surprised he made it much of anywhere. With that said I'm sure it's experience, patience, and lots of weight in the bed.

You're right though. The heated seats, steering wheel, and Spotify tunes were nice to have this morning

@zipper here's the backstory on the old girl parked next to the bougie EV Not really a tow rig.....BUT......New to me pickup

Plus I’m sure your boogie Ev has great traction control and optimized driving modes for slippery conditions.

It has a "snow mode" that locks the motors in AWD, and I could hear some of the traction control working this morning as I was "testing" the surface traction in the neighborhood before heading out onto public roads. Bougie EV has 3 peak rated All Terrain tires on it, which have some of the siping you're talking about.

I think you can shorten the nickname to BougEV and be even trendier.

I like that.

The truck will let me "name" it in the app. I've been going with 0VR1T since I got it.....as in "Over It". Coworker came up with that when I was talking about trading in the 0FsQ7 (Zero F's given Q7), and being "over it" with oil burning and maintenance.

I'm liking the BougEV too though!

Funny, close to this company we bought our 300w solar panel for the catamaran from.
