I also carried a tow rope just in
case but never needed it. Note - there probably is no where to attach a tow
rope on a Vue that won't cause suspension or ody damage.


I guess I was just going to wrap it around the frame that runs across
in front of the engine. I think if I got stuck it wouldn't take much
additional force to pull me out. The Vue would still provide 90% of
the force, it would probably just need an little extra umph to get
rolling (at least that's the logic I'm using).

The traction control could give you some trouble - most of those systems
reduce engine power if a wheel slips and that could get you in trouble if a
ramp is slippery and you need a small bit of wheel spin to get up.


Ah, I'll dig out the manual and find out which of the 3 "drive modes"
I should use. That's a good point that the traction control may be
bad.
