We just had a little ice/sleet/snow "storm" here in DFW, Texas. I don't
have an r/t but my truck has the 5.9 V8. The worse part is getting started
once you come to a stop....especially if you're at a light facing uphill.
For the most part, I have to coast across the intersection without giving
any throttle (the plus of having torque) and if I do give some gas, the
wheels will spin freely very easily (the minus of having the torque). Being
a heavy truck, I always try to make sure I leave enough stopping distance
ahead of me or at least a path or two to avoid an obstacle ahead.
Take your time
Leave early
Save doing the donuts for wide-open parking lots
