Thoughts on 4wd auto?

[MidwestMike]

I know it's an old thread, but as long as we are getting to that time of year again...

I like having the Auto and 4WD options, as well as 2.
(Did not want AWD spinning all summer).

I'm a big fan of the Auto except in two cases.
- If it really looks like you need 4WD, you may want to put it in before you have ANY slip. If it is really crappy that one spin could hurt you.

- Expressway taught me a lesson too. Pulling the snowmobile trailer on a clean expressway I used to always leave it in AWD. But then ran in to a day where it was ice under every overpass. In 2WD I never would have known, you would go right over the 10 foot patch, in AWD it would kick in and catch right as I hit dry pavement again, with an awful sounding thud. After I learned that would repeat I backed off on AWD at 75 mph on a "clean" expressway with the trailer.

For peace of mind in torrential rain I'll put it in Auto but the tires are awesome and the truck didn't budge running through highway puddles at near 80. Gotta love BF Goodrich! Yes, tires are the most important thing between you and the road.

In tough rain, I do put it in 4Auto after that first hydroplane reminds me too. But running 305 35 24, I don't have the plentiful manfacture options to choose from, but the Delenti Desert s
Storm or whatever they are called are waaayyy better than expected and I'm running on 20k miles and they still rolling.
