The skid control light was spending a good deal of time flashing; telling me it was engaged, and I could hear the wheels as they'd independently break then get power added to them. To say the least I was VERY impressed, and only felt the rear slip mildly from side-to-side, which sure beats spinning like a top.

Thanks for the post RunItHard. I was hoping to here someone's experience in ice and snow and so far between your post and the one I created a few days ago I've heard nothing but good news.
I'm getting my Toyota the weekend of the 26th of January, I can't wait. The snow in the Boise Idaho area is pretty much gone, but there's still a few ice spots around on side streets. Plus I'm planning on going to the Winter Carnival in McCall Idaho in a couple weeks. So the ice and snow forums are giving me more positive confidence at how great these trucks are no matter what you throw at them.
By the way there was a video on Youtube the other day that I found showing one of the new Toyota FJ Landcruisers pulling a Dodge Ram pickup and travel trailer off of Pismo Beach. I bet that made that Dodge guy feel really bad. LOL.
