LOL I guess those with Broncos will need to stay off as well since they are also AWD vehicles unless you get the top end Tremor or Raptor or whatever they call the real 4WD model. Same with the Maverick, only one model has actual 4WD but based on the AWD technology.

Guess that means I can't take my Flex either, however, I know IT would get stuck since it is more of a track suspension than off road AWD.

This reminds me of all the weekend warriors out here in AWD mini vans and similar. When it snows they mostly think that because they have all 4 wheels working they can drive like it is 72 and sunny out. Almost all of the spin outs are Tesla, mini vans and Subarus…flatlanders who think they have enough skill to drive 50-70 MPH in chain conditions.

This likely explains the new policy…too many clowns driving without off-road skills thinking no biggie. That, and the cost to the agencies having to tow/deal with those who get stuck.
