So I've got a new 2013 2500 diesel, just picked it up yesterday. And yes, it's far from winter right now... but I wanted to get some input, since it's hopefully fresh in everyone's mind
I live in Calgary, AB, and the winters get pretty crazy here with icey roads especially. Wanted to get some feedback from the more experienced drivers on how to adjust handling and driving based on conditions. I'm coming from a Nissan Titan, so have some experience in terms of how to drive a truck in the winter but now that this thing has a whopping 800 torque I could anticipate more traction issues. Also I would imagine a Titan 4x4 system is quite different from the RAM as well.
Also this is the Outdoorsman edition, so it only has the 2WD, 4WD Lock and 4WD Low modes. No locking diff either.
Thanks ahead for all the info!!
