Read many, many threads about how SelecTrac is a “must have” for snowy climates. Having survived most of my life in crappy sedans, minivans, etc. I knew the case being made against the Rubi with its BSD and open diffs was overstated... well, I just got back from my first snowy drive in my 2dr 6sp Rubi. (8” unplowed). Pffft. Handles like a dream! Getting in and out of 4H is effortless.
Is automatic 4 wheel drive neat? Sure. (My wife has it in her Yukon.) Is it useful on roads that change from ice to pavement and back? Maybe, but I usually stick to 2H and drive for conditions rather than go into and out of 4H willy-nilly. Am I upset I stuck to my guns and got a Rubi? Helllll no!
Carry on, and enjoy the rig you bought - every flavor is more capable than 99% of what you’ll pass on the road!
