I have the FX4 which I got last Novemeber. We had a couple of good stotms last winter and she worked just fine, I have the Goodyear 18inch LT's and most of the time I really did not need four wheel drive. We had a couple of 8 nch and a couple of 6 inche snow falls. The truck rode and handled great.
