VT Crazy weather

[VTRepublic]

Hello from the great little state of Vermont. Crazy weather up here for December, hit 58 degrees today, last year at this time below zero. I ordered my BL/BL on March 27th and took delivery on 12/02. I live at elevation and have ~6.5 mile of dirt road to get to my dirt driveway, middle of no-where. This morning there was a trace of snow with freezing mist, Bronco Sport handeled it with no problems in Slippery mode. Coming back from work a different story, mud season in December, prime time to try out the different modes. Normal mode was not great, changed to slippery mode which was ok but much better with Traction Control turned off. Switched to Mud/Rut performed like it was on tracks. I have the Falken WildPeak AT3 tires and they seemed to float to certain areas, I did not air down. So far so good in the snow / ice in slippery mode. Full blown Mud Season in the spring will tell. So far, lovin the vehicle and well worth the wait.

I learned about turning off traction control in my 08 Mercury Mariner. It was an obscure switch under the center dash you had to hold for 5 seconds till the indicator flashed. But it worked. Stuck on ice with it on; drove off like it was nothing when turned off.
