M gear and snow mode?

Asked by Eliza Feb 22, 2021 at 08:50 PM about the 2014 Ford Explorer XLT 4WD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

In bad snow weather, should you use snow
mode or Be in M or both? I was recently is
bad snow going through a hilly area and my
truck was sliding around. Just wondering
what would’ve worked best

1 Answer

Gear selections have nothing to do with traction. I think you need snow rated tires.
