Driving in snow
I have a good friend who was a school bus driver in upstate NY for many years.
He did not
like FC's in the snow. With the engine in front of the front wheels, it left
the driving wheels
too light in his opinion. He much preferred a traditional driveline with the
engine over the
front wheels. His situation may have been different due to different loadings
on
schoolbuses and motorhomes, but it is worth keeping in mind.
