appreciate the video, snow isn't always the most fun however , your tires make the biggest difference and they tie into speed OEM tires are trash, slowly accelerate in 2wd and you would've been fine winter tires/winter rated tires would make 2wd drive fine add some weight in the bed like most of us do and you'll get around just fine in 2wd 4x4 is for deep snow and mud city driving best advice you should share is drive for the weather
2wd, 4wd, 6wd it doesn't matter. Because when you hit the brakes in snow without winter tires you will keep sliding. I always run my awd on winter tires from october till march. Never been stuck! Drive safe everyone and I wish you all a merry christmas!!
Winter tires don’t stop sliding in ice neither does it guarantee you stopping in the snow. Like most Americans I drive with new all season tires and never been stuck in the snow unless it was more than a foot and that’s only due to ground clearance since my car sits so low.
Exactly I agree should always have winter tires while driving in snow. I have an f150 just like this but my nissan sentra with winter tires does awsome in the snow. Winter tires make the world of a difference
Thanks for the video, it's always great to share info, especially while having fun! As a long time F150 user (couple generations) I'd like to correct you on a little thing if you don't take it bad. It is not a big deal, but just for an info accuracy: @1:59 You mention that the 4x4 shifting should not be done above 40 km/h, but I believe you might have gotten confused with some other info on the owners manual (a lot to get confused with, right?) The OM states that shifting between modes is done on the fly and can be at any speed, with the only recommendation to release the accelerator pedal while doing so. This is not only to prevent engaging noises and potential damages, but mostly, because you don't want your truck to suddenly gain traction and veer onto oncomming traffic or onto an obstacle in your way if you're in a sliding situation with your steering turned. Just to add to your sharing, the only "watch-over" speed references these trucks have on the OM for 4x4 is the max speed for enagagging 4Low and the max speed on which the rear locker will stay automatically engaged when activated (4x2/4x4, non-Raptor version). Bro, keep enjoying your F150 and sending out more videos! Cheers!!
See you all talk just like my husband and the rest of the RUclips videos talking about driving in the snow BS. My money is on what I can see. Black Out made a believer out of me. So all that om jive sound like my husband.
For last couple of days we had around 12-14” snow fall. I was able to drive my 2018 FX4 with snow/mud mode on and with 4x4 on like on butter. Best thing to have even though in our area snow is not staying for too long.
Yes and no. The fact that he gave it more gas in 2WD will cause it to loose traction faster but regardless in snow the 4WD will always be better because you have added traction from the added drive wheels. Also 60% of the trucks weight is always on the front wheels when not hauling because of the motor.. So 2Wd is at a disadvantage in this type of weather because of only having 2 drive tires and those drive tires only have 40% of the weight on them. 4WD as well has its limits but is much better in this type of weather. 2WD trucks can however gain better control and traction by adding weight over those rear tires by putting something heavy in the bed. It’s not as good as 4WD but better than nothing.
Just moved higher up the mountain. This is really helpful I will be dealing with a bit more snow instead if my usual winter rain. Even the comments are helpful
I do something very novel when the roads are bad like this...I don't drive on them! And currently my daily driver is an SUV with AWD. Why? Because having 4WD isn't going to save you from the other fool who drives like a nut on bad roads. I know for some people staying off the roads when conditions aren't safe isn't an option, but for those who can it is still the best choice. Don't drive on bad roads if you don't have to.
I have a 13 F150 4x4 5.0, have had to shift several times into 4Hi at highway speeds when I hit some bad snow squalls. No issues at all shifting at 60-70mph, even in the manual it says any forward speed. At 280k miles, transfer case still fine. Great video though, 4x4 must in snow climates
Exactly! I had a '13 like yours that I loved driving and miss it many days for the good times my family had with it. Switched for a '18 (identical powertrain specs), with which I'm very pleased with. Unfortunately couldn't have both!
Using a 4 x 2 f-150 put 300 pounds in front of rear axle and snow tires tends to work better than 4 x 4 with all season tires and no weight added. When buying an older truck I was weary of dealing with costly 4 wheel drive repairs
@@agentbrown321 true, i live in a dry warm climate but often have to go to snowy areas for work. snow tires would not be feasible for me personally. Almost always have a little weight in bed anyway, but even then 4x4 is a must on a muddy jobsite, coming from a guy who used to have 2wds!!
I have new michelin all seasons on, was wondering how id do, never had a truck before. I put it in 4A and it seems really stable, never even realized there was a snow mode till now. tbh I'm looking at that snow and thinking traction off, sport mode in 2wd might be my new hobby instead of snowboarding this year lol thanks man
owners manual says it will disengage at 25mph and reengage at 20mph. so you can try and engage at any speed. the truck will protect itself. older trucks not so much...
In a truck, winter driving is actually very entertaining because you and the other truck owners are usually the only people on the road. Sedan drivers have to stay home or risk a very likely trip to the ditch and a long wait for the tow truck. The intersections are the worst areas and big snow mounds accumulate there, which trap people or they can't slow down in time and slide right through red lights.
@@MichiganPowersports Wow that's something. I'm a Jeep driver but still don't think I could do it as I have basically no experience with snow. If I have to go to a northern state in winter I'll just have local family drive me.
I drive though deep snow in 2wd all the time. Vehicle is a 2016 Chevy Colorado 2.8 duramax 2wd. It gets 40mpgs highway I run Goodyear Duratracs and air them down to like 21 psi. I also have heavy paving stones in the bed for weight and chains just in case.
Driving 2 wheel like drifting you can't have any fear and must be able to drive. Drove in every storm past 30 yrs part of snow crew. Stuck once high center.
I have an 18 f150 4x4. I have Goodyear Fortitude HT's as my all seasons and they seem to perform well enough in the snow. The f-150 bed is exceptionally light compared to other trucks and the crew cab really doesn't help much, it is very front heavy with the aluminum body and because the front suspension is slightly lower than the rear it puts too much emphasis on those front tires. I have to put 4 sandbags, 210lbs total, in the bed over the rear axle before it grips like it should. 4x4 in the f-150 is extremely good though and I regularly drive through 2ft snow drifts in on the corn field roads. With the weight on the front tires, it grips so well in turns and keeps the truck straight in 4x4. I'd say the F-150 is the best handling winter truck in 4x4 and the worst in 2wd. Which the worst still being better than most other suvs and definitely sedans.
That is so true. They are amazing in 4 wheel drive, drives like a dream in the snow but yeah, super light box at the back. Sand bags are definitely great. Thanks for sharing this comment so everyone can benefit from it.
my 2020 5.0 does surprisingly great in ice and snow with all terrain tires, its the other drivers I'm worried about. My f250-f350 powerstrokes did good but f150 does great
Exactly. Or toyo AT3’s and 600lbs in the bed like me. Litterally can’t get stuck. I’ve had it to the doors in snow and I just have to go back and forth back and forth. And i get through everything everytime. As for driving on a road that’s slushy and shitty it does litterally just fine
All you need is a good set of tires and common sense. Everyone wants to drive as if it were summer. You have to change the way you drive for the winter.
Im amazed at how well my new F150 does in 2wd with BFG AT tires. I seldom have to put it in 4 high even in snow. It does better in 2wd than my Duramax in 4wd even though they have the same tires. Its a huge improvement over my older F150.
@@dirtysouthbushcraftandmma9770 Your welcome to come over and drive both on my dirt road when its got a foot of snow on it and tell me which one you’d rather drive. I think the difference is the diesel has too much torque plus being a really long truck with not much weight in back it breaks the tires loose easily .
I'm in your position! I go snowboarding every so often, and wouldn't need 4x4 any other time. I'm wondering if using AT tires, chains, and the traction control that comes with the trucks, will be enough?
You shouldn't actually. The raked look it comes with is designed that way from factory because it is a truck. As soon as you put weight in the back, the truck will level out and the headlights will raise to a normal viewing height for driving. If you stick blocks in the front to level it.. the moment you put weight in the back, you get the opposite and the truck looks like it is squatting - the headlights shine directly into oncoming traffic and blind them.
2 main differences. First is the speed you can drive while in them. You can drive much faster in 4H but most 4L systems have a max speed of around 10 mph give or take. That is because of the 2nd difference. 4H only engages the other 2 drive wheels while 4L does that as well as applies the power the wheels differently by use of the transfer case. This is why it makes you shift to neutral for the 4L option in a lot newer trucks that use the on the fly shifting. The transfer case will use the Horse power to increase the torque applied to the tires while controlling it to limit slipping and offer a greater ability to go through or over more difficult terrain when needed such as deep or difficult mud, snow or sand. Also good for rock crawling. Driving too fast in 4L can cause damage to the transfer case and the gears inside it due to the amplified speeds the gears are experiencing at higher speeds.
@@offroad_adventures2934 Obviously an older wrangler is what you want in a blizzard or offroad trip. But for the rest of the 98% of your typical driving, the F-150 wins out.
@@HookandBookinc I drive a mini cooper-put blizzaks on it this year and it can take it ALL. Have a Jeep cherokee that I am leaving home this year, much better gas mlg in the mini. Unless it is deep snow, minis have zero clearance. Never ran winter tires before just all terrain, it DOES make a huge difference.
Dude really slammed on the gas pedal as soon as he got in the truck you're supposed to ease on the gas when you changed it it looked like you went easier on 4wd
It gives you more traction. It’s possible to have one rear wheel slipping at the same time as the front. The rear diff lock will obviously lock both rear wheels together so the only slip you will get is in the open diff in the front.
Mainly for off-road situations..say u can’t grab traction in 4hi on a hill climb with ur both axles articulating in opposite directions...ur rear wheel in the air is spinning while the other in the ditch is not...if u lock the rear diff, ur rear wheel in the ditch will spin at the same speed as the one in the air so you can get out..
That answers my question: do I want to deal with oart time 4wd in northern Michigan: no. Damn. Why don’t they do a reactive 4wd system with 4 low like in off roading SUV’s? Always has boggled my mond
Bro you gave it way more gas. Ive seen 4x4s in the ditch. Its all about how you drive. Plus any 2wd truck driver knows you need to put at least 300lbs of weight in the bed
Trucks are terrible in the snow. You definitely can’t drive these trucks on 4-High on the highway pointless. Anyone who understands common logic knows I’m right.
What they need to do is build trucks like they did in the 80s I did better than that in a 2wd on a four-wheel-drive truck and it did better than what you have lol
I have a 2020 F150 Lariat 2WD , 5.0... & being in AZ I do NOT need 4x4 and with moron puppet Biden as Pres I’m glad I didn’t buy a 4x4 just to have a sticker on my truck lol I don’t need props from anyone in the truck community especially when Ford is going electric 😂
Thank you so much. You solved 10 year argument trying to tell me 4 wheel can't drive in the snow any better. Lol, such a beautiful video.

ford f-150 what year is that
what is the point of having the rear diff lock. when you pull the 4x4 knob out. so both rear wheels spin. why would i use that if i can just use 4hi?
True say!
It gives you more traction. It’s possible to have one rear wheel slipping at the same time as the front. The rear diff lock will obviously lock both rear wheels together so the only slip you will get is in the open diff in the front.
Mainly for off-road situations..say u can’t grab traction in 4hi on a hill climb with ur both axles articulating in opposite directions...ur rear wheel in the air is spinning while the other in the ditch is not...if u lock the rear diff, ur rear wheel in the ditch will spin at the same speed as the one in the air so you can get out..
So do you need snow tires for snow with the 4H active? or are all terrain tires enough?
You can do away with all terrain. I just took off mud tires for all terrain in my F150. My 4x4 doesn't work so I'll throw sandbags in the back.

Damn. Why don’t they do a reactive 4wd system with 4 low like in off roading SUV’s? Always has boggled my mond
Great video, I only buy 4x4 trucks
I love them too!
What about 4 L ?
Bro you gave it way more gas. Ive seen 4x4s in the ditch. Its all about how you drive. Plus any 2wd truck driver knows you need to put at least 300lbs of weight in the bed
My 2020 f150 lariat 5.0 driving through this Texas snow like nothing!! #4wheel
You must be loving it! Enjoy it while it lasts there!
Trucks are terrible in the snow. You definitely can’t drive these trucks on 4-High on the highway pointless. Anyone who understands common logic knows I’m right.
Nah you def went faster on 2 wheel. So they could spin.
Not a good test one u don’t step on it to get moving if u know how to drive ur good it’s a skill issue
Hello!
Get Winter Tires
5.0
What they need to do is build trucks like they did in the 80s I did better than that in a 2wd on a four-wheel-drive truck and it did better than what you have lol
I have a 2020 F150 Lariat 2WD , 5.0... & being in AZ I do NOT need 4x4 and with moron puppet Biden as Pres I’m glad I didn’t buy a 4x4 just to have a sticker on my truck lol I don’t need props from anyone in the truck community especially when Ford is going electric 😂
