8+ Inches of Off-Road Powder Snow vs Ford Escape and Jeep Wrangler

In this video I hit the trails with Spirit the Manscape for some snow-wheeling adventures with friends. Spirit battles it out with Andrew's Jeep Wrangler, to see who can impress the ladies the most and get stuck the fewest times. It's a good thing Greg brought his Polaris General out, because things do not go well for Spirit or the Jeep.

My wifes awd escape has never been out of the garage on a rainy or snowy day, she doesnt realize how much fun shes missing.😊

That Escape was a beast in the snow! I’m definitely impressed for a small SUV AWD system.

It really is a beast! Although Spirit has a few modifications, like a switch that locks the 4wd on full-time.

@@PaintedSpringsGarage yea, I seen that in one of your last videos. I need to add that modification to my 09 Escape.

Nice. I have a 08 limited it handles Oregon snow remarkably well, just don’t get high centered

Oregon snow is intense. The capabilities of these Escapes are underrated.

How much did it cost to do the conversion

First thing...take off the lower front end scoop, because the snow will.

Yooo love the car! I have the 2012 4x2 version but I'm debating switch to the largest mother with 4x4 on 2012 as well, it would be that or the ford explorer 2015 4x4... I would appreciate your opinion! Much respect .:

Deciding what car to get totally depends on what you want to do. All I can say is that I love my Escape.

Both vehicles would've benefited with better all terrain tires....almost felt awkward watching that Jeep fail the way it did....itis mostly all about the fun and the memories at the end of day though

My 2010 XLT V6 2WD is useless in the rain on anything slippery much less mud. Waiting to see what happens with the 2005 fully auto 4x4 XLT V6 I just picked up for winter in the Sierras.

4wd vs hydraulic awd... Yeah idk- if you play on mud and rocks 4x4 =+ If snow and sand (beach and dunes) awd just check rear diff temps and send it its fun to spin in snow but not the most effective way through Defflike the real comparo

@traviscarson9131 5 ай бұрын

is that all time 4wd?

@PaintedSpringsGarage 5 ай бұрын

The transfer case always spins the driveshaft, but I wired a switch to fully engage the coupler for the rear differential. The rear differential coupler has an electromagnet controlled clutch that is always partially engaged by design, but slips easily when there is no power to it. The switch I added essentially sends 12v at 100% duty cycle to the clutch and fully engages the 4WD.
