FInally i get a lil snow to play in... its not deep.... but its a fargin mess... i tested every setting of course...
auto- AWD it does good.
sports mode if ya wanna drift..
snow awd- does even better
sand and mud felt more responsive in the snow.. but broke traction a little more..


4 low was impressive, i was in 9th gear cruising around 2 n a half rpms at around35- 40 mph.. (dont quote actual speed to rpms it was around that) ill pay more attention to the gauges today when i go out.. but anyway it felt great at that speed.. very stable in 3 inches of ice/snow mush on the 4 lane..
tested every setting allowed in 4 low.. sports isnt..

And for the official record, the kl goes better than my old stock xj sport in the snow at higher speeds.. however.. i dunno about deeper snow..? yet

visibility is ok.. a con im seeing is where the wipers are located.. the hot air does not hit them directly so.. ice seems to collect on em fast.... vent location is a factor.

This this this. Fully loaded stock XJ vs. fully loaded stock Kl(Trailhawk). The KL would dominate the XJ on every level. XJ guys(some not all) need to start comparing apples to apples before they open their mouths. Sure your lifted XJ with lockers can out wheel a stock KL, everyone gets it. So much hate every time a KL owner starts a thread.


End rant.
