Try throwing a 6MT into the mix. It is a wonder I got anywhere the past few days. Me and the VSA were having disagreements constantly.

I had a 2006 E350 and that was a BEAST in the snow. Maybe because it was so heavy?

Yeah pretty much, 9.5 fronts. Maybe 2-3 mm less aggressive since I'm trying to avoid the fronts as much as possible.
