Took a friend to a doctors appointment Monday 6:30 am. Plows didn't even think about my street. Drove 5 blocks in 15"+ snow before I realized my AV was in 2 wheel drive. Got some spin at a stop sign on a hill, and thought I better go to 4 high. Went to Hazleton, Pa, big hills, and close to the highest point in the state. Probably 20" on the ground, and most of the highway and streets unplowed at 7am. My friend could not believe the way the AV went through the snow. No spinning, no slipping, no sliding. Returned home with the same result, and with more snow on the ground. ABS really makes a difference too. Pulled out two pick-up plows, and two vehicles. The AV just walks in the snow. The Z-71 rocks. Very happy!
