I am opening this dialogue about AdvanceTrac and it's application in poor traction conditions such as off-road or inclement weather, and less so as it applies to Roll Stability Control.
I have a 2nd generation Explorer with ControlTrac and 3.73 TractionLok so I am quite familiar with it mechanically and in usage. AdvanceTrac I am not as familiar with, i.e. brake traction control. I have watched the videos. And I have driven with the AdvanceTrac in some horrendous snow and ice, but never through the rugged and steep terrain off-road I have taken my '97.
So I am of course wondering what the comparison will be.
I have some questions also...
Did AdvanceTrac equipped Explorers have a limited slip option? Mine is open.
Did RWD Explorers have AdvanceTrac?
3G vs. 2G... thoughts?
Also if anyone has other experiences or input please post up.
