| Description of the problem | Purchased a ford 2006 f-150 4x4 so i could use it off road and through snow when necessary. Tried to have chains put on it as chp requires and was told this vehicle will not take chains due to the configuration of the brake lines. Was not told this up front when i purchased vehicle. Why buy a 4x4 if you can't use it in inclement weather? Ford does not seem to have a resolution for this problem |
