I've noticed the same thing in RWD vehicles... but especially in trucks. Without that weight for traction, the rear never "grabs"... so when it breaks loose it's GONE.

I generally dislike driving pickups in the snow... not enough weight in the back. Even my little suzuki is useless in 2wd. In 4wd it will go anywhere but it's an understeering DOG. If it starts to "push" in a turn, I sometimes snap it out of 4x4 and give it a shot of gas to get the rear to swing out a bit.

I've been told 944s are EXCELLENT in the snow... very nicely balanced and good traction w/ decent snows. Not great in the deep stuff though. That true, or do you keep yours dry?
