I have a MY2010 HSE with TR, and TBH during the snow of the last couple of weeks, I have not had the need to switch it over to the Snow setting. My driveway isn't on a really steep incline, but 2wd cars I've had in the past have had issues going up the drive, in the FL2, no problems. |

Having been trained in offroad driving, rather than had the odd day out with LR, the TR is like an idiot proof switch to 4 wheel driving.

Carnoch - Maybe you should have bought a Lada Riva instead |

Lada, they should be parked up against the wall and shot! They are an abomination against humanity, the scourge of society, better to walk than ride in a Lada - no offence intended to anyone that drives one, naw, I don't mean that, but it sounds very PC if I apologise. La.da is a medical condition, not a car make.

ive had a s for 17 months,its well capable without terrain response, but i found a difference with t r on my new gs e my10,in the snow,and on wet muddy fields. wheel spin is non existant with ter responce i find. if you seen where i went in my old s fl2 you would be shocked im sure it is enough for what you want,and s,gs,hse ect will still beat 90% of other 4x4s in a off road test. |

Well said, but do as I did and forgot to turn off the snow setting at a clear roundabout and you wonder where all the power has gone. Add a car?, probably a Lada bearing down on me and panic sets in. |

It will do it fine. I have made medium hard off road with a FL1 04 much time and was very good to be 4x4 without low range transfer gear. FL1 used an older version of the HALDEX than our new ones on the FL2 and was OK.

When my track was a foot deep in snow I set off at it in normal mode. I was making progress but getting lots of wheel spin and weaving, gradually losing momentum, so I switched to snow TR mode and could feel the extra drive from the rear. Momentum picked up etc. The snow was so deep that there was a danger of beaching it on a drift, which is a shovel job (as happened last year). So, I think TR clearly helps by reconfiguring the transmission, but other than that, I didn't have to switch to it very often in the recent snow and ice. |

Switch it to sand mode and drift all 4 wheels You only need two tools: WD-40 and Duct Tape.
