  How to drive on a slush covered hill

IMHO it was first gear that was the culprit.

The car wanted to go down hill (existing speed + momentum + gravity) at 'X' mph, the trans in first tried to resist that. In the end the traction of the tires, for whatever reason, was less than the force on the vehicle.

The result was the tires lost the tug-of-war.

I'll bet you didn't see any brake lights on the Audi did you?


Best of luck.

  How to drive on a slush covered hill

There's a bunch of full-time AWD vehicles out there.

Just off the top of my head, Volkswagen 4Motion, Mercedes 4matic, Audi Quattro, Volvo AWD, Land Rover, Honda CRV, Subaru AWD. The list goes on & on.

While there's no arguing that tires are important, IMHO the driver is the more critical part. There's an old saying in the construction industry, "The two best off-road vehicles in the world are 'company' and 'rented' vehicles."

I watched a a fellow engineer drive a rented compact car with useless summer tires around a stuck SUV & 4wd p/up on up the 'impassable' road to a new resort years ago.

When asked how he did it when they couldn't he smiled and said "you got stuck because you weren't going fast enough, that's all, no secret".

Best of luck.

They couldn't have been any worse than Ford's ill-fated attempt at AWD in their Aerostar vans. They were built as RWD vans, but in the AWD format they had a pair of 12 volt drive motors in the front hubs, when the rear wheels slipped the electric motors gave some assistance.


Best of luck.
