Default Any idiot can drive this

I have to say that I am amazed at my truck's ability to keep me from wrecking it. We have ice all over the roads and it is fun trying to push the throttle too hard and hear the traction control kick in. I believe my wife could even control this truck in the snow....if I allowed her to drive it, but that ain't happenin'.

That being said, I also enjoy shutting off all the nannies and smoking the tires and power sliding down the road.

This truck is smarter than a 5th grader!

LOL where the hell was the traction control at when I turned a corner slowly and slid sideways down the road yesterday? At that point I put it into 4x4 and it worked much better.

I find this truck easier to drive in 2X4 because 4X4 causes the VSC to shut off. When I put it in 4X4 it is very easy to go sideways.

300 ULTRA may have some regrets.
Default Re: Any idiot can drive this

Not sure I like being called an IDIOT for being able to drive my 07 DC LTD 5.7 4X4 TRD Silver Sky. Hope you didn't mean all of us. Maybe you were thinking of the other ones that don't own a Big New TUNDRA yet.
