2wd in Toledo oh

[90gw]

Hey guys

I am moving to Toledo in the next couple months. I want to buy another commander but in 2wd to make it a street sleeper sort of thing. My question is that i would also be driving it in the winter and leaving the 4wd with the wife and kids. Are the winters in toledo bad enough where i should not consider this? i have read that they do well with the right tires and i grew up in NJ so i know how to drive in snow. Do you think it will be ok to get a 2wd commander in northern ohio?

Yes, they can be bad. I live about an hour north of Toledo and head down that way occasionally and they usually get hit with a snow band quite frequently. Plus they are so close to the lake you get lake effect snow. 2wd drives aren't impossible to drive in it. I had a 2wd Ford Ranger for a while and you just have to make sure you're more careful when you're out. Finding a 2wd might be a little difficult though.

Thanks for news. I am looking at houses about 30 min. from toledo. if its really bad i can just take the other one and tell my wife to stay home. haha. yeah its been a battle trying to find one

I live in Toledo and they can get bad. Here is what it looks like today. It's worse outside of town usually and there is always a lot of drifting and accumulating.

yeah i here ya. I would rather we get another commander even if its 2wd then have my wife drive our 09 g8 gt during the winter.

Up north, its more of worrying about the blowing and drifting of snow, but that only gets bad when you're out of the metro area.

I moved from the Toledo area a few yrs back, and there's only been a few storms that have been REALLY bad that i can remember.

Its the cold + wind that gets ya!

FYI when you get time you may want to check out southington off road park close to Cleveland and take that SJ out there. I am usually there the first weekend of the month FYI. More info here www.neo4x4.com.
