Got some snow and ice recently and figured the Expy should do well with 4WD auto. Certainly, if I needed top performance in the slow I’d invest in snow tires, but I feel like the Expy should be able to deal with the relatively mild and infrequent snow here. But even on a minimal incline, 4-auto struggled to maintain forward progress.
My other vehicle (also on all seasons) has a selectable 4-hi mode that locks the differential and it has zero issues.
I think the issue with the Expy is that it waits for a lot of slip to occur before actually transferring power to the front axle, and by then it is too late.
Kind of disappointed that the Expy does not offer a manual 4-hi mode option as standard.
