[QUOTE="Dr T, post: 1045351, member: 77468"] Just purchased my sport trac a month ago & it may have saved me from injury, or worse, on Saturday. Headed down my driveway, 1/8 of a mile - 2 90* dog legs - >60* grade after 1st dog leg, & as soon as I turned to head downhill I hit a thin sheet of ice that covered the driveway. No where to steer since there’s a ravine on one side & a ditch with a rock wall on the other. No brakes or steering, & kept building up speed. Straight through the bottom dog leg & headed for the creek. The truck held it’s own & kept me upright as the right front wheel buried itself in soft mud, front end teetering over the icy water. Took 2 winches to get me out ….all with barely a scratch to the truck & only a few bruises to this old body. The guys in a big old F-250 watched what they called my “Dukes of Hazard moment” …both in awe at the way the little truck handled! [/QUOTE]
