2013 LC on snowpacked icy highways..

[IMCrusin]

I just noticed a previous thread on the crawl control on winter roads. With all the bells and whistles on the 13 what is the best option for driving on snow packed icy interstate highways. Is it just the 4 hi and forget about the bells and whistles??
Thanks

Yes.

If it is really bad you can go to 4lo to get the gearing to keep from rolling too fast. I'm not sure what the other guy was doing with the crawl control...maybe offroad i would use it but on a normal road drive it like a 4x4. Drove all the way from Denver to Farmington, NM, at least half was packed ice and snow, did great.

Check out my LandCruiser page which has pictures of the LC on snowy/icy roads:

Scroll down to the section titled "Arctic Expedition - Beyond Latitude 66º33' " and look for the pictures about Atigun Pass. Those were the only times I had to use 4Lo, going down the pass on icy roads. Other than that, it's mostly normal cautious winter driving (slow down, no hard braking, no hard turns).

Yes.

If you're going less than 60mph and the road is slippery, you could also lock the center differential.
