Roads up north

Take the Durango and drive to conditions. My 28 year old son drives a 1986 Oldsmobile Delta 88 as his daily driver. Travels all over the place regardless of the weather and has no issues. He just slows down if conditions are poor.

Many folks drive rwd or front wheel drive vehicles year round without incident with all season tires. The main highways are cleared and maintained decently.

If you find you are getting nervous, stop for a coffee, relax and get back at it in a bit.

In Alberta winter tires are not mandatory.

I live near Edmonton in a rural area.

 

Or in BC, still need chains until April.

 

What kind of 4x4 pickup do you have? Is it Diesel? Is it comfortable driving it on long trips?
