Since purchasing my 4.4 in 2004, its only seen Hawaiian weather. Recently, I relocated to North Jersey. Anticipating snow conditions, I mounted Pirelli Scorpion snow tires on 17" rims. Well, finally, I put the truck to the test by driving in blizzard like conditions home from work last night. After passing all sorts of people and offering a lift for many that were stuck, I made it home without any issues. Awesome truck to say the least, happy holidays!
