First Snow
We just had our first snow here in VA and it was the first time I've had the H2 in it. Man it did great! I think a lot of people forget that these are actually full time all wheel drive. I could go from the snow to pavement and back with no problems yet I saw the trucks around me having to go back to 2WD. You really don't see AWD trucks... another great reason the H2 is a rarity!

Re: First Snow
Where in VA are you that you've got snow? I'm in the DC metro area and nothing but a light dusting last week.
Oh...and it's 4WD (locking differentials, HI/LO-range gears, etc.)...Subaru's and CR-Vs are AWD.

Isn't the H2 all wheel drive in standard drive mode? Pretty sure it is.....

Re: First Snow
It's the fact that the H2 has a lockable transfer case with HI/LO gears and the ability to lock the rear dif that makes it 4WD and not AWD. If none of these features were in the system and the computer (traction control) was the only thing distributing the torque, then 'yes' you'd have an AWD Hummer. It's the fact that the features are there (engaged or not) that makes the main difference.
...at least as far as I've researched and understand.

Re: First Snow
So on snow pack is there a need to put it in 4hi? I sometimes do because it makes me feel better. I alway drive the same with it on or off though, so it's hard to tell if its doing anything.
All my snow driving is on the mountain pass roads so there's really no place to put control to the test.
