Anybody notice any differences from the 22 Manual except maybe the Tremor specific items?
Apparently 2022 manual tells you to only put snow chains on the back wheels (yes, even FWD trucks) and 2023 tells you to only put snow chains on the front wheels.
I'm going with the 2023 suggestion.

With the AWD trucks, how would this new generation PTU handle vastly different front-rear grip potential, and one set of drive wheels having a bigger overall diameter because of the chains' thickness?
Coming from years of Subaru ownership that makes me a bit nervous. I'm used to center diffs getting wrecked if even one tire is different than the others by a few 32nds.

I gotta couple freezers full of food. I can wait until the plows get er done. But, yes I agree with the chains on the front wheels.

I
If your in conditions where your traction is such that you need chains, I don't believe any small diameter difference will damage anything. Just like you don't use the lock up 4wd mode (If equipped) on dry pavement.With the AWD trucks, how would this new generation PTU handle vastly different front-rear grip potential, and one set of drive wheels having a bigger overall diameter because of the chains' thickness?
