    Kia Sportage stuck in snow?

    I know they lack ground clearance...but I just helped a guy on my road get unstuck in his Sportage. First of all, don't pull off way over to the side of the road where it's unplowed, secondly he has 4X4...I was confused. Maybe it's cause it's a Kia. Yeah, I'm gonna go with that...FAIL.

    life is good.

    I laugh at sti's and crap that think they can handle the snow because they watched ken block on youtube.

        I drove in the snow with the speed6 with ease, having awd, good tires and not getting over confident is the key.

          i can't wait to try out a Ranger in the snow. its a lot lighter than my old Dakota that i wrecked earlier this year. Both are rear wheel so it's either going to be funner or scarier going around corners i'm not sure yet.

            from my experience the rangers do better in snow than the s10's but be careful u got a light rear end.

            that said i got stuck in my cherokee. i mean MAJOR stuck. lol rocked her out and had her in 4wd low and she climed outta there. and where i got stuck? i acually DROVE into a snow pile at my work parking lot that was higher than the jeep lol.


            as for kia it proably got hung up and high centered. u said it it do't ahve hih ground clearence and it proably had the stock factory no trend smooth tires and no posi or sliptrac.

            heck my buddy's old 1989 buick centry wagon.. that sucker went places most suv's won't do cuz that thing is HEAVY! lol

              so if you have a RWD/4WD car you should add weight in the rear?
