Encountered numerous black ice and blowing snow north & west of Toronto last
night. Running the 91 Dak 4x4 with sure grip diff in 4 HI was no problem.
Speed and following to close was apparent with the many bridge accidents I
came up on, then pulling off the road to avoid being rear ended..
Dodges in my opinion are superior to Jeeps in my and to buy a winter beater
can be only a way to avoid corrosion or mileage on are beloved Dakota Trucks
