New to the forums. Currently have a BMW 330xi as my vehicle to get to the mountain. See where that's a problem? More than a couple inches on the road and I am screwed..
Looking for input on what vehicles you all drive to the mountain. I have about 12k to put into this. Maybe more.
My ride = 2008 Ford Ranger Extended cab with 4wd. Kinda chugs the gas for a v6 but makes up for it in the power dept. I put 4 sandbags in the back, or its almost impossible to not spin the tires in snow. Wolfs dead on as far as feathering the throttle & adding weight to the rear.
i have a 2000 audi a4 quattro 1.8t. i highly recommend it. the 1.8t engine offers a great compromise of power and fuel efficiency. i live in tahoe in the winter and it handles the snow very well. i have a room rack for my board which is great because it keeps all the snow and ice out of the car.
when all the snow is gone it's great for cruising on the freeway to the beach or the desert or wherever...
The golf drives awesome. The only sucky part is they only sell it with 15 hub caps. Rims are only available on the tdi and gti. No reason you couldn't upgrade later though.

I have an 07 silverado with a tuned 6.0L I'm kind of scared to take it to the snow, although i will have some 33" BFG A/T's on it, it is still only a 2wd, heavy, a shit ton of power.
I primarily use the truck for towing a trailer. I couldn't afford nor find a vortec max in 4x4 in my price range. Also are the toyo open country a/t's better for the snow or Nitto Terra Grapplers? I can't afford another set of tires. What are the best tires that are available in a 285/75/17 for snow?
Nice looking vehicle Kytch, what year is that, 2010? I was just on Subaru's website last night looking at the Legacy. I've heard great things about subaru's overall.
When not flying to CO, I drive out in my Honda Pilot. All wheel drive, nice new tires this season, thule holds all my gear so family and dog have plenty of play space. 5 weeks till my first drive out, tick toc
