One of the things people always need to think about when going from a SRW to DRW is how the snow performance will be I know I was wondering. Well I can say I am impressed with the tires and the truck.

Arriving ten minutes later is always better than never arriving at all.

Sometimes getting stuck behind slow people is a good thing. I’ve had many times getting stuck behind people going slow wanting to pass and bam! There’s a cop lol saved my ass a few times 😂

We had 14” in SW Washington a few weeks ago and never had an issue with my dually. First time driving a dually in the snow.

In slippery conditions, air down to 1/2 your normal pressure, and reduce speed at least 25%. It makes a huge difference in traction and stopping distance.

Coming from Alaska, the problem comes when you get hard packed ice ruts in the road. Two wheels will not track well in the rut so you end up fishtailing real really hard. I made the mistake of putting a plow on a dually, spent more time putting chains on than plowing. On a flat surface it was fine (with 2000lbs of ballast), getting into hillside locations I was screwed.

My f450 dually does amazing in -30 with icy roads, mind you it has a 4000lb welding skid in the back.

I love the stability of the 1 ton dualies. In my mind the most important thing is to make sure you have some weight in the box. They are meant to carry a load. Put a ton in there and you will go through conditions you never thought possible.

Greetings from Alberta. Conditions look familiar. As you know first-hand, it’s not so much about acceleration during winter icy conditions, it’s about how you stop without running into anything.

Nice looking 450.

I had ceramic coating put on my 2020 ram 2500 and 18 months later it still beads water off as good as the first day. I've put aquapel on my windshield twice since and at Highway speeds you basically don't even need the wipers at all, it's kind of crazy tbh.

My son has one and he never have had any trouble driving it in any kind of weather. Rain, snow and ice, no problems. I have driven it and I didn’t have any trouble. I love it. His is the diesel, dully, long bed, 4 doors. I absolutely love it. I just wish I could afford one.

Nice truck. I gave a 2020 F450 Platinum. Try the slippery drive mode. I think it makes a world of difference with driving in snow with the F450. The reduced torque starting off the line eliminates wheel slip and makes it easier to control.

I believe the mud and snow tires front and rear is an $800 upgrade item. Although, they may have been standard on the Platinum.

Am in Georgia, USA and we rarely get any snow let alone single digits but watching this video at 69° Oct 30 2021 I can't even imagine enduring a single winter night up in Canada with that snow. Nice video bro

Great video. I don’t miss the snow anymore since relocating to southeast US. What a nice truck.

Goodyear duratrac tires do extremely well in the snow and ice. I have had them on the dually for the last 100k miles. All the snow and ice that Wyoming and Montana have thrown in my path have never been too much. You obviously still have to be wise but they have never failed me. Driving on roads you can barely walk on and I’ve never had trouble. Just my $0.02.

I drove a F450 Diesel 4x4 box truck for a oxygen company and had the mountain route in Colorado. Middle of winter steep grades of of sometimes one lane dirt roads with huge drop offs a foot of snow she never let me down once even with a full load, always got grins when I would pull up to a patients house and them saying "You got that truck up here?"

I have a 2021 F-450 Just love the truck. Live in Colorado and have not taken it out in the snow yet. Thank you for showing this video. The truck is a beast, but I get great mileage, turning radius is great. And did I mention it's fast.
