I think the same. Though they are doing this on asphalt and a smaller hill, its still snow and moisture covered in a vehicle with 22in wheels and street biased tires. Still nice to kno its pretty capable, though i dnt remember seeing them do this in a vehicle and it strugglin

Can someone explain to me how they a nav to do all this no issue but tfl got an fx4 expy stuck goin uphill?
‘Cause Andre can’t drive. He had no idea how to operate the 4x4 system in the Expedition. At the beginning of the video, he starts his adventure by locking the rear axle when there is absolutely no need to lock the rear axle and he never changes the drive mode so the truck is trying to optimize for on-road performance, not traction like he needs. Then, he manages to turn the truck off and back on and he forgets that the 4x4 settings (other than 4A) are not maintained through a power cycle. Towards the end of the video he admits that he finally got it out of the ditch when he remembered to lock the rear axle again...

Couple that with the other video where he snaps a drive shaft in a tuned F-150, and he makes a really good case for full time AWD with no settings, buttons, modes, etc.
