Mine does fine, just make sure you have good tires and drive like you should when its bad out.

Its not really you that you need to worry about, its all the other people out there who are clueless.

I would not waste with the sport trac. I thought about one but then saw some reviews that made them sound like they did not do well with anything rough, roads and all.

If you want something like that get a normal truck or trailblazer/explorer.

here is another plan that I might do.... There is an 02 GT on lot also.. so I might get that then trade it in.. come spring for a left over Cobra... then come this time next year my Dad will be gettting a new truck so then I would be looking to get his old one 1992 F-150 with only 60000 miles on it 4x4.... and I could get a good deal on that... man oh man desicions

Deal on the L get it down some and then buy a cheap winter car until your dad sells his truck.

If I sell my cobra I plan to make my truck my daily car for now but I don't plan on too many days where I can't get to work...if that happens the wife will have to commute with me and we will take her neon
