I'm in the northeast and have had mine since October '93. 2 wheel drive one ton with a 5 speed and have found it better than any other two wheel drive truck. I have had Dodge, Chevy and Fords before this one. I have snow tires only on the rear and have never gotten stuck.

 

Relative to a motorcycle, yes. Relative to a modern AWD car with a low center of gravity, no.

Among the options a T100 comes with that can help in the snow (4WD and ABS) its as much about tires and driver as about any other ride out there. The 4WD's are pretty choppy, have a narrow wheelbase and no LSD or any for of traction control options from the factory. There are definitely better trucks out there in the snow.

 

I've had my t 100 4x4 about 8 yrs. I live in the Northeast,during that time period we have had quite a few 2 foot and more snow storms!! This baby handled it all,no problem.One of the bigger storms i was out early before any roads were cleared,i had a ball,was not even a little worried about not getting thru.Wife has to get to work,cause she works at hospital,thats why i was on the road.Originaly got for snow,and surf fishing,don't take on beach no more,too much rust starting to form.I had three 2 wheel drive pick ups before this one.Drove all my life in the northeast, two wheel drive trucks,or the wife's front wheel drive cars,they are pretty good if snows not do deep.Never go back,love the way this truck handles the weather!!!

 

In rear-wheel drive? Horrible. In 4WD? Awesome. We got a couple feet of semi-heavy snow here last month and this thing just powered through it down my quarter mile, unplowed, slightly uphill dirt drive. With a bed full of snow, the right tires (mine are M&S 265/70-16's ... i.e. stock size) and the 4WD T's clearance, no issues. Knowing how to drive in snow helps. Actually used it to extract my neighbor's AWD Honda Pilot out of a ditch he slid into trying to get his out. Just the kind of duty I was hoping for when I bought this a couple months ago! Would be nice to have one with the ABS option, though.

 

as stated a 2wd terrible. Put some weight in the bed it does okay. But my open diff 2wd will get stuck in nothing.

Can't comment on the 4x4's

 

This was 2 wknds. back!!!Backing up my snow talk with some pics!! The night shot is my wifes car out front,where they plow us in!!! Also tryin to re learn myself how to po st pics!!!

 

Long as ABS works and tires are good you should have no problem. I'm new to the forum and need advice.

 

My baby needs new shoes, will these fit?

I have a 1994 Toyota T-100 Black SR5
will this combination work for her new shoes and will i need a spacer? Any suggestions would be welcome.

Wheel- ATX AX198 Chamber II Satin Black (18x9”/6x139.7mm, +18 offset) man# AX19889060718
Tire- Nankang NS-20 275/35R18 man# 24053002
Lugs- DP Accessories 24 Premium Black Closed Acorn Lug Nuts (M12x1.5) 1.39” tall, 3/4” Hex man# LCB3B6HE-BK04024

The wheel offset provides the backspace i need. Seller website said tires won't fit my truck. I think they might be referring to stock wheels. Tried to do homework but would like outside eyes before i commit to an online purchase.

Thanks

 

no abs here just hubs and chains and 4x4
did well in the crazy buffalo ny snow fall D:

 

i tried the rear chains when we had 28+ inches of snow last month. my truck has 33" tires on it. it did great - never got stuck. although i couldnt really go anywhere either when it was over about 18" deep. not bed though and especially not getting stuck.

 

hoping for some decent snow this season... reading back over this I also loaded up four big logs in the back for weight... each one was about 5 feet long by 18" - 24" diameter. it definitely helped having the extra weight on the rear wheels with the chains on.

 

Mine works good in the snow with half bald tires
