I'm out in Colorado.

Mind you I moved from NY to TX 15 years ago so it's been a bit since I've had to do significant winter driving.

Denver to Aspen is a 3.5 hour drive that took us more like 9 hours over two days.

Day 1 we got stuck right before the peak of Vail Pass because they shut down i70.

Rather than risk sleeping in the car we bailed and found a hotel in Copper before everyone else got the same idea.

Fly out of Denver on Thursday so need to head back there at some point this week but it's snowing every day and the roads are not terrible if you only have to go 20 miles but I've got to go 200 including those climbs in and out of the passes which are like 6 mile steep grades on both sides.

Driving a 2021 4 wheel Denali and it's been managing well but it's a big beast. I have the Tahoe, same truck so not unfamiliar with the driving experience but not under these conditions.

So the question, am I better off in 4w Auto or just keep it in 4w Hi the whole ride.

Also the lane assist, my brain says turn it off but the truck drives funky without it, feels real loose and light up front, I don't like the way it drives. My Tahoe drives exactly the same with lane assist on or off.

My thought is lane assist on may interfere in crap conditions, fight me.
