Today I went into the biggest snow storm of the year (so far) in my 2018 Mustang Ecoboost. It was....exciting.

ha? what do you mean the car does not matter? so you mean, awd is a myth? lol. no, car matters, tire matters, transmission matters... but the driver matters the most if this is what you wanted to say... I can drive anything on ice but that doesnt mean they are all same. I can drive an STI on ice with no effort but an RWD car take a bit effort. that applies for snow as well. awd-fwd-rwd manual-automatic winter tire-all season tire-regular tire so the better option is the combination of the ones on the left as you go right you will start having trouble on the ice.

I want to say, I daily drive an '07 Mustang GT year round up here in Wisconsin. It's not difficult in snow just have proper shoes ;) I have Blizzak WS90's on my baby and she trucks on through 5" and she's lowered on Eibach Sportlines (2" drop).

So you like TCS akaTraction Control System...it's handy when you're actually driving along at 35-45 but a bitch when you try to get moving, little spin of the wheels and it's bogging your engine down hard (at least in my '07 Mustang GT). 7 winters in and haven't ended up in a ditch yet! *knocks on wood profusely*

Manual is better when driving in the snow, plus winter tires and the snow mode probably helps too, but I never use it. But driving a car like this in the snow is pretty fun. Got a big and wide parking lot I take my mustang too when it snows, always a ton of fun.

@@ArchesMechanic Fair enough, I've driven mine on summer tires after a snow storm down a very sketchy dirt road with deep ditches on either side and it handled fine to be honest. It had been plowed a couple times though. Waiting on a big snowfall here so I can go do donuts, enjoyed the video though! Pretty comfy!

Every time I have to drive mine in the snow, I'm saying the same thing. "This is so stupid." Often followed by a torrent of profanity. Also, agreed when it comes to disabling traction control. When it's on, it just pulls the power and won't go anywhere. At least with it off you can kinda power through the ice....albeit sideways.

Cars and tires are like shoes, you wouldn't wear dress shoes playing Basketball.... While some have success with mustangs in snow they dont actually have a lot of snow and are using winter tires... While if your driving in real snow, which is over 1 foot you should only drive 4x4 if your going to buy a mustang in an environment where it snows like that you should also buy a winter beater or not expect to drive on big snow days.... I have a 2016 Mustang GT and never drive it int he winter, we just got 15 inches of snow today where I live and got through it like a boss in my 2009 4x4 escape. But I was curious how my Mustang would have done which is why I came to your video.... BTW dont floor it in the snow if your just starting off from a dead stop ... You might have better success in the snow going up hill if you take traction control and advanced track off (obviously test it first in a parking lot to see if your driving skills allow you to drive still like that) To do this is the same in both escape and mustang, when TC is on hold the button to turn off, but instead of clicking it hold it for 10 seconds and it turns everything off. This will stop your car from bogging down.

You probably should’ve made a video like this, because the mode was definitely working properly. Just your input and what you wanted it to do it override it obviously...on top of it trying to make the system work properly. All that nonsense was you behind the wheel. Because if you read the manual of what it actually does it was doing it, and your input was vetoing the whole concept.

Chad Thomas it was doing what it was suppose to. That is it is suppose to keep the tires from slipping. When a rear wheel drive car is on a slight hill with almost no weight in the back...it’s not going to gain traction no matter how well the system works. Hence...it sucks to drive in the snow
