    i operated an IH rollback in the towing industry for close to 10 years in the cascade mntns of washington, got some really good (or bad, depending on your point of view) winters in them hills, i had zero problems driving that truck through any weather. Interstates, closed mountain passes, snow, ice, logging roads so slick and steep i had to literaly spider-winch myself up the hills, done it all without batting an eye. Get into my personal vehicle, and i am completely uncomfortable in bad weather, i am the guy people cuss at for being way overcautious and too slow because it just didnt feel right.

    Same here, not as long though. In my personal vehicle I'm the one passing you sliding sideways with a big grin on my face. I love driving my car in snow. Come to think of it, I drove the tow truck that way too.

    Ditto on the wide turns too! I hate getting into a 4 wheeler after driving. I feel like an insect on the road, can't see as well cuz I'm sittin on the ground and totally uncomfortable. Seems trips take 10 times longer to get to my destination..............

    HAHAHA, reminded me of school. After hours and hours of practicing backing I'd get into my car and turn the wheel the wrong way to back out of the parking space.

    When i first get out of the truck and get in my 4 wheeler i find myself turning wide when making a right turn. I also wondered why my jake break didn't come on when slowing down. When i was operating a bull dozer, after work i would get in my pickup and when i was driving off the site i would reach for the blade control handle to scoop a rock out of my way.
