I've got it in my TRD and I've used it exactly once in 4 years. Middle of
February, when everything had been frozen solid for a month. Drove into a
parking lot covered with a foot of snow, but the area was apparently sitting
over the only source of natural heat in all of upstate NY because under the
snow, there was 6" of UNfrozen slippery mud.
