I just did a bit of a long distance offroad oilfield trip and had to do a midday infield about 30K distance location check on wet ice roads, so loaded up in the PF a site geologist and a contract professional driver who handles some really big 50 ton water and vacumn trucks and off we went.
Most of the drive was like pavement but on these bush ice trails every once in awhile the roads take a serious unsigned 90° turn. Haha I can still see both of those fellows turning white and whiteknuckled as we did the VDC/ABS grinch around the first one or two corners. Scared the hell out of them I think, as the VDC/ABS noise when it kicks in sounds like the driver just fawked something up...
I don't completely trust this VDC yet but I came up on those ice corners kind of quick and it stayed between the ditches...what more could you ever want from a truck.
The trip back to base was uneventful, and the passengers looked fairly relaxed at that point.
