How does the NV do in the snow?

Recommended Posts

I'm considering buying a high roof 3500 SV. Does it go well in the snow? If not, what type of tires would be helpful? I occasionally get caught in snow storms because I'm trying to finish a job and I forget to look outside.

Yeah I live in colordao, and i bought the NV Passenger. Although it is only 2wheel drive, it is also almost 5 tons. My plan is to put snow tires on in the winter.

I've been through one winter in Montana with my NV2500HD low roof. I tested out the traction control in 12" of wet snow with 26 degrees F outside. The traction control does what it claims to do. This vehicle handles better in winter conditions than my 2007 ford E250 did.

Tip - when you find your back tires slipping / or lack of because of the traction control - just hit the button and turn it off . Your wheels will get a better grip and speed ( depending on the situation your in ) and pop it manually into first gear when going down a steep incline in snowy / icy conditions .
