@@H43339the jeep was probably driving on the darker "lanes" which could have iced up. Look at the Toyota, it's up on the thin layer of plowed, white snow.
It's down to driving skill. Situations like this require low revs. From the wheel spin it's clear the driver in the Jeep doesn't know what to do. And he makes a thoroughly capable vehicle look like a total muppet 😂 Notice how the Toyota rolled past cruising at low rev speed.
Good case of being in trouble by being 6” away from enough grip, you can see from the colour that the compacted snow is not ice, the jeeps back wheels are well below his front and possibly off the road or even against an edge. If the other vehicle was in the same place I think it might have the same problem. The “winter tyre” answer may be relevant but there is a lot more going on than that.

Agreed. All the Jeep driver was concentrating on, was getting ahead of the Toyota. He should have let the Toyota pass, (and any other cars that wanted to get around) and concentrated on getting out of the situation. You don't muscle your way out of the snow. I think if he hadn't tried to race the Toyota, he could have made it out, the first time.
Tires are important. On highways in Canada in the winter in the Rockies I have a studded tire and I go thinner. Thinner tires put more PSI on the road for mor traction and thinner profile cuts through the snow and slush. Big wide mud tires float over this weather and provide less traction. Now off road or roads not plowed. Yes go big and wide and air down you float on snow…hopefully. Why I have winters and summers for specific applications
The thinner profile cutting through the snow is absolutely true, but the bit about more PSI (I’m gonna assume you’re talking about contact area, not tire pressure…) is questionable. If you run the same PSI in a thin tire vs a wide tire, the thin tire will have a smaller width of contact area but a longer length, making the contact area roughly the same as the wide tire.
Someone smarter than me said this ones, there are tires for every situation, just make sure you have the right ones, when you need them, they are not just for looks for use as well :).
There is a feature I recently learnt about in my gx 470. It’s called 2 start. You start in second gear because the torque is reduced and it essentially makes it easier to move forward on slippery surfaces
As other said. He’s prob running wrong tires, you need run snow tires. Don’t matter what vehicle you’re driving, if has shit all season. Of course it slide all over the place durning a blizzard.
I’ve lived in AZ in the valley my whole life recently moved to Tennessee and holy shit driving in snow is so scary. I have an elantra with all season tires I might get a winter set for upcoming winter because I was slipping and sliding. Around corners and up streets
You can get a good set and still have issues in snow and heavy rain, I've seen it too many times, jeeps are the worst at hydroplaining bc of the weight distribution and add in snow, sleet and a little ice it's rough
4 Runner definitely had more aggressive tires for snow. But also the 4 Runner drove on the snow path not the icy part. In summary its experience along with the tires
It’s not more aggressive tires here. It’s bigger tires. Terrible traction more surface area you have. The best snow fighters, Walters and Osh Kosh, hold weight but only 4 axles 4 tires.

Sure good ties can contribute to positive results but if the driver doesn’t know what they’re doing, even good tires won’t help as you can see from the jeeps results.. when it comes down to it, you must know how to drive in the snow and ice condition. Obviously, this person was not experienced in doing so
If you have really good snow tires you can even make it up with front wheel drive. Don’t let anyone tell you it’s the drive system. Tires are Everything.

I got stuck in the mud in Azusa in a lifted 85 Suburban . An 80s Toyota truck pulled me out with no problem. I was young and didn't know about tires and gears. I had 35" all terrains
I used to live in CO. I owned a 2WD XTERRA. I used to swap my regular tires for winter strutted tires and drive around in the snow like any other day with zero issues. That being said, having the right tire for the right season is a must!
Here in New Jersey the 4 x 4 guys think they can do 60 miles an hour in 6 inches of snow on the interstate and then you pass them a mile up in your Honda Civic because they’re on the roof first bend in the highway

From Buffalo, N.Y. So many people don't know how to drive in the snow. Here's the starters; Snow tires are made for a reason. Another is this; The transmission to be slaptinto a lower gear (engine braking) when trying to stop. But to downshift in a lower gear when crawling out of snow. Even 4 wheelers slip and slide in the snow.
@@eggpod4567 that has to be the worst comment I’ve ever seen 😂. Subarus are decent at best. They lack power and the ones that do have power blow head gaskets and bend rods all the time 😂. Not to mention the weak clutches and transmissions.
@@LancesterHardwoodactually no it wouldn't. It's one of the widely known problems w lockers. U lose traction w both tires you no longer have stability sideways and will slide sideways in the direction of the slope. Whether on a hill in mud or snow/ice. Front tires can be mitigated by counter steering. Rear is most definitely a no go.
@danielbigger490 Lockers are not so good in snow, they make both wheels slip instead of just one. Diff should be free so the wheels slip independently. When wheeling on snow, you want your tires or chains to adhere to the snow - you won't be going anywhere if you try to dig the snow out with the wheels.
He was on the road. The jeep was off the road. It's also a lot tires. My wife always has studded snow tires. She could have beat the 4×4 with her minivan.
@@klj2382 that could be. I wouldn't be passing someone who is spinning his wheels trying to get where you are. That's an accident waiting to happen. It's all tires.
One word: real snow tires. A surprising amount of Americans seem to disregard the need for that. No sane Norwegian/Finn/Swede would neglect to use them.
4 runner stayed in the fresh snow, allowing for snow-snow traction. Jeep was riding the tracks (steeper and more slush) and hydroplaned. Angled road is your worst enemy in snow
I've used all terrain and mud and honestly they both worked well. Never had issues. I think all terrains work phenomenal in rain though and are less noisy
@@1Turnatatime How you drive has alot to do with it too, some folks panic and floor it when they lose traction. You're right on the all terrains in the rain, definitely less hydroplaning.
@toxy9754 not gunna to lie, I was just out last night, and I almost slid into a tree with the bed of my truck. Had I not floored it, I would've got messed up. I was able to pull myself back up on the trail. I definitely agree with the panic part, but in snow, you'll only just start digging yourself a hole. Although I was on icey trails last night, terrible paving jobs these guys did 🤣 and it's weird cuz I enjoy the mud tires I got now and they've been great in the rain too, I literally floor it through puddles and may slide in the direction of the tire with the lower tread which is normally the right. Both control arms are shot though
@@1Turnatatime lol glad you made it out in one piece! I love my Jeep but I do miss having a good ol manual RWD pickup. Always had pickups & sports cars when I was younger and getting sideways was just part of my daily drive 🤣
I have had 4 Wranglers (2 YJs and 2 TJs), and now I have a Gladiator. I live up in New Hampshire, and I have never had an issue like this in the winter. The problem here is driver error and/or wrong tires.
Gods do TJs ever suck on ice though even with winter tires .. so glad I have a grand Cherokee and a power wagon for winter now and just use my TJ for fun in the summer
We had 3 foot of snow and it was still coming down, white out conditions. My Toyota Tundra just kept plowing through, stopped to clean ice off my headlights. That's when I noticed all the cars following me, you see the road wasn't " plowed" I was making a path.
Of course it's not the Jeep when it's the tires that are in question but if anything else was having trouble your first argument would be you should have bought a Jeep

Exactly 👍😎
Livin in Maine my own life, you tend to learn how to drive even better on ice n snow my friend. 🙃
Right
Grew up in the mountains of PA and you are correct. My front wheel drive saturn SL would do fine on that road lol
Why do you keep your left tire on the white line ?
@@marcusfieldfield4069 because it's more likely to be fresh powder than the slush from yesterday, refrozen into a perfectly flat piece of ice, reminiscent of a whiteboard
That is not a jeep problem, that is a driver problem.
Lack of snow tire problem.
Jeeps are a problem
That's what I was going say
100% a Jeep problem, because people who buy Jeeps are the same people who put the wrong tires on it during snow season. It's all circular.
@@dogg92 Actually…I think you make a good point.
Notice how Toyota driver knows to keep his tires on the snow tracks and not the ice tracks. Smart man.
The 4Runner probably: "Holy crap man you're making us look bad. I'm leaving your behind."
It's all about the tires. Look at the nice tread on that 4runner
nah...that is more operator error.
Sure good ties can contribute to positive results but if the driver doesn’t know what they’re doing, even good tires won’t help as you can see from the jeeps results.. when it comes down to it, you must know how to drive in the snow and ice condition. Obviously, this person was not experienced in doing so
Jeep guy wasted all his money on all that useless gear and now can't afford tires lol
@@AngryFishh…word up! 🙃🤪
Yeah, the 4 runner guy knows, tires, correct route and the right vehicle.
Difference is the 4Runner driver knew how, and just as importantly WHERE, to drive on the slippery road.
Is that a Sequoia? Looks nice tbh
There’s no 4Runner in this video. That is an FJ Cruiser.
@@alexcharles8541 there's no Fj Cruiser in this video. That is a Sequoia.
@@alexcharles8541 There’s no FJ Cruiser in this video. That is a Wagon Queen Family Truckster.

"Notice all the air in the tires" - Heavy Southern Accent
I live in northern Ontario and drive a diesel jeep, that is a simple solution. Right tires for the right conditions
If you have really good snow tires you can even make it up with front wheel drive. Don’t let anyone tell you it’s the drive system. Tires are Everything.
I had good tires just before winter when I brought my car. It's been nearly a year and nearly bald. I think I've got some inside wear although a year is decent for year round.
Wrong. And FWD would be much better than RWD. 😂 Your tires could be bald as fuck with AWD and you’d have no problem.
@@Carl_McMelvinno traction means movement. You don't understand basic physics.
@@bldontmatter5319 LOL. You aren’t the sharpest tool in the shed are you? The irony is mind boggling. Absolutely nothing that I’ve said is up for debate. Talk about your all time backfires. 🤣
@@bldontmatter5319 tell me you live in a tropical climate without telling me.
Jeep: the best on road off-road vehicle for driving through Starbucks
Being from the Deep South, when I lived WAY UP NORTH, I learned like him about winter tires. Once. All it took.
its just funny to make fun of jeeps because their owners literally think they are the only capable vehicles on the road.
They aren’t the only capable but they are the most capable.
Solid axles or nothing when the going gets really rough. It’s just a fact.
@@AlphanumericCharacters and yet here we are, commenting on a video where the going appears to have gotten too tough for the Jeep and its solid axles
@@mrkazmanIt's the driver
@@AlphanumericCharacters Wouldn't say most capable... Subarus and 4Runners can easily beat Jeeps
@@frafraplanner9277 lol Subarus and 4runners can beat jeep at what? Grocery hauling?
Long ago I got stuck in mud with an avalanche, the stupid truck couldn't get out in 4L, a first gen 4runner pulled me out like butter with one big yank. Respect for toyotas.
If you told them again like they’ve been told before,they’ll act like they’ve never heard it nor will they ever. Those of us who aren’t millennials have an appropriate word for it. DENIAL…true story…
@@user-li3so1tb2t cool story boomer
Not surprised the avalanche is basically a Tahoe lmao. That and an underpowered 5.3 for off roading.
So you got stuck in a spot that even the best of tires couldn't get you out of... mud?
I got stuck in the mud in Azusa in a lifted 85 Suburban . An 80s Toyota truck pulled me out with no problem. I was young and didn't know about tires and gears. I had 35" all terrains
You'll notice as he's going by he's not driving in the icy track he's keeping his wheels in the snow where he has traction.
Battle of the all season tires 😂😂😂❤
It’s more about the driver than the vehicle in these situations 😂
I was thinking that. Toyota kept to the uphill side. May have had more suitable tires.
no it's not.. it's about the tires...
yeah the drivers selection of tires
No good operator 😅
Jeeps are garbage
I used to live in CO. I owned a 2WD XTERRA. I used to swap my regular tires for winter strutted tires and drive around in the snow like any other day with zero issues. That being said, having the right tire for the right season is a must!
Here in New Jersey the 4 x 4 guys think they can do 60 miles an hour in 6 inches of snow on the interstate and then you pass them a mile up in your Honda Civic because they’re on the roof first bend in the highway
I have a rear wheel drive bmw that goes no where with its 19inch low profiles in just a light snow covering. Put a set of 16 inch snow tyres on, it turns into a snow plough and goes through a heavy covering with no problems
The more shit we talk on our awesome state the less people will move here. You gotta make it sound awful. We got too many people now!! Stop it!!
who cares
Studs can get you so far up in the mountains where I live…
Fun fact: most of the aftermarket parts on my Toyota were purchased from money I made towing Jeeps out of the forest. 🔧
Tire quality is the most important!
yup ... it helps if they have TREAD!
And air down
Meanwhile, you got people like me cruising around in a Ford Fiesta when the weather gets this bad 😅
You should go off in the same bank and see how long it takes for you to get towed out.
@@Justjeepingadventuresyou should know about how many times we Fiesta guys have partied & still do... man, itsa' ford😂 FOCUS chassis, developed by Malcolm Wilson... for the WRC ! ! See ya' later. RUBBER & Trajectory IS EVERYTHING-EVERYTHING,b if the mechanics are in order and I've got Mercedes out of the sodden ditch... and the police lada niva 4×4 on 3 wheels. Get a grip !
@@BalkyDj3.369😂😂😂😂😂
From Buffalo, N.Y. So many people don't know how to drive in the snow. Here's the starters; Snow tires are made for a reason. Another is this; The transmission to be slaptinto a lower gear (engine braking) when trying to stop. But to downshift in a lower gear when crawling out of snow. Even 4 wheelers slip and slide in the snow.
“But I had it in 4H, that’s higher power right?” Very common mistake in these situations
As a Jeep heater, I have to be honest. It's the tires and the driver more than anything. Poor guy. The 4Runner should have at least towed him out.
I'm sure a Subaru came along and helped him at some point
I love the Toyota casually passing by
It's not because it's a Jeep it's because hes on the shoulder
@@davidmclaws604
And why did he end up on the shoulder in the first place
Toyotas and Subarus are the kings of the road.
I love the CRV sitting in front of them.
@@eggpod4567 that has to be the worst comment I’ve ever seen 😂. Subarus are decent at best. They lack power and the ones that do have power blow head gaskets and bend rods all the time 😂. Not to mention the weak clutches and transmissions.
It’s not the Jeep. It’s the damn driver.
Not only a tire issue, but he's got his lockers on like a dingus.
Lockers would help to go straight actually...
Its simply a tire issue.
@@LancesterHardwoodactually no it wouldn't. It's one of the widely known problems w lockers. U lose traction w both tires you no longer have stability sideways and will slide sideways in the direction of the slope. Whether on a hill in mud or snow/ice. Front tires can be mitigated by counter steering. Rear is most definitely a no go.
@@stotheak Exactly, better for one tire to slip not an entire axle haha
@@stotheak That’s all true except it’s the front axle you don’t want locked so they can steer and counter steer for rear slippage.
@danielbigger490 Lockers are not so good in snow, they make both wheels slip instead of just one. Diff should be free so the wheels slip independently. When wheeling on snow, you want your tires or chains to adhere to the snow - you won't be going anywhere if you try to dig the snow out with the wheels.
Toyota going around very politely.
It's a pain switching to winter tires and back every 6 months but it is worth it.
That's got to be extremely embarrassing
He was on the road. The jeep was off the road. It's also a lot tires. My wife always has studded snow tires. She could have beat the 4×4 with her minivan.
Yeah, his tires were crap.
@@justincoats7236the Jeep was there because it was sliding off the road.
@@klj2382 that could be. I wouldn't be passing someone who is spinning his wheels trying to get where you are. That's an accident waiting to happen. It's all tires.
One word: real snow tires. A surprising amount of Americans seem to disregard the need for that. No sane Norwegian/Finn/Swede would neglect to use them.
And Canadian
@@snowgorilla9789 was coming here to say the same thing, lol. Cheers
Mud tires are the best tires for snow
Put a new set on every year in the mountains..... never had a problem with snow... slush.... ice
Running Nokian WG4’s
4 runner stayed in the fresh snow, allowing for snow-snow traction. Jeep was riding the tracks (steeper and more slush) and hydroplaned. Angled road is your worst enemy in snow
It’s funny how the Toyota just slowly cruises by 😂
Like others said…it’s the tires. Makes a huge difference.
It's not the vehicle. It's the driver.
Toyota was like please get outta my way holding up traffic 😂😂
Respect to any vehicle with the right set of tires on it and the right amount of throttle.
Maine driver here…that’s a driver problem. I use a Toyota Avalon as my year round care. I put snow tires on it and I’m ready to go.
The Jeep: Slipping on the road and getting stuck on snow
The 4Runner: 🗿
Tip - Mud terrain tires can get packed full of snow and now you're driving on skinny snowballs. Mud terrain is not all terrain.
Snow tracts better on snow then rubber, real snow tires hold snow in the grooves to use as an advantage. However mud tires aren't snow tires still.
I've used all terrain and mud and honestly they both worked well. Never had issues. I think all terrains work phenomenal in rain though and are less noisy
@@1Turnatatime How you drive has alot to do with it too, some folks panic and floor it when they lose traction. You're right on the all terrains in the rain, definitely less hydroplaning.
@toxy9754 not gunna to lie, I was just out last night, and I almost slid into a tree with the bed of my truck. Had I not floored it, I would've got messed up. I was able to pull myself back up on the trail. I definitely agree with the panic part, but in snow, you'll only just start digging yourself a hole. Although I was on icey trails last night, terrible paving jobs these guys did 🤣 and it's weird cuz I enjoy the mud tires I got now and they've been great in the rain too, I literally floor it through puddles and may slide in the direction of the tire with the lower tread which is normally the right. Both control arms are shot though
@@1Turnatatime lol glad you made it out in one piece! I love my Jeep but I do miss having a good ol manual RWD pickup. Always had pickups & sports cars when I was younger and getting sideways was just part of my daily drive 🤣
4Runner didn't even need to have his headlights on. They already know he's coming.
The Toyota just goes on by. No problem!!!💪💪💪
Tires, tires, tires and a competent driver
I have had 4 Wranglers (2 YJs and 2 TJs), and now I have a Gladiator. I live up in New Hampshire, and I have never had an issue like this in the winter. The problem here is driver error and/or wrong tires.
I absolutely agree
You are correct 💯
Gods do TJs ever suck on ice though even with winter tires .. so glad I have a grand Cherokee and a power wagon for winter now and just use my TJ for fun in the summer
@@ericmarshall5548Agreed
We had 3 foot of snow and it was still coming down, white out conditions. My Toyota Tundra just kept plowing through, stopped to clean ice off my headlights. That's when I noticed all the cars following me, you see the road wasn't " plowed" I was making a path.
Bro in 4Runner: 👀
Toyota like ahhh just stay there as I pass yo ass😂
THIS is why you run WINTER TIRES during cold months. It does not matter how powerful your engine may be, if you have no traction.
Straight truth, having 4wd doesn’t mean you can stop in snowy conditions. Which people seem to forget even tho you’d think it’s common sense
The Jeep has nothing to do with it. It's the fool driving
Exactly, and everyone else saying tires can't see they are both about the same tread pattern and both are mild All terrain tires
How can you see thread pattern in this video? 🧢🧢🧢
@@mwoo252 Learn to spell tread Marques
Def the driver. Better tires might have gotten him out of there.
Of course it's not the Jeep when it's the tires that are in question but if anything else was having trouble your first argument would be you should have bought a Jeep
