Hi everyone:
I've come to a juncture here where I will be moving out into the rural areas of Wisconsin, and doing a fair amount of driving out on the county trunks and local roads. I had a taste of those roads the other day, and they're steep, they wind quite a bit, and they have many hair-pin turns. Thinking back to the worse-than-horrible winter we had this past winter, I began to seriously question how well the Sprinter would do on these types of roads with, say, three to five inches of snow on them. Because they're anciliary roads, they won't be plowed right away.
What do you all think - is the Sprinter up for such a challenge, or is this going to be a total nightmare to attempt? I was in a city this past winter, and for the most part, the Sprinter didn't have many problems - a few from time to time. Will the Sprinter have the traction to get up some of these steeper inclines?
What would you say I could/should get in order to have maximum traction for the Sprinter in bad road conditions?
Trading in for a four-wheel drive vehicle or a front-wheel drive sedan has crossed my mind ... I really don't want to do it, but it's an option I suppose I must consider ..........................
Thanks for your replies!
