But there was a button to turn it off, if you were in a pinch and spinning the tires was helpful, like the steep driveway.

Mines a 4WD and in the snow and playing... I've got to say I can get the tires to spin... happened several times going around corners and such, especially with the back end spinning to push me around corners (ie fishtailing) if I gunned it....

Am I missing something? If an '06 4WD has any form of traction control and its supposed to stop all spin, I don't see it.

Incidentally mine handled 8" of snow BEAUTIFULLY... the tire slip and spin was all due to my flooring it for a little fun!
