although

i have never had a car with posi i have had several trucks including my present tow vehicle an 03 dodge cummins with sixer. when the snow flies i put seven seventy pound sand bags in back and it goes just fine in the snow. i have never noted any extra tendency toward fishtailing under decel. under accel it is not a prob either. the dodge has 500 torque and it comes on rather suddenly because of the turbo, yet it still is not a prob.

that said i cut my teeth driving in snow. and as a youngster drove a quarter midget some on muddy clay tracks. so driving sideways does not intimidate me. i just make sure the side windows are cleaned off.
