As mentioned having recovery gear can often lead to over confidence and pushing past the drivers skill and experience. Lockers are a classic example of a way for the driver and vehicle to get in over their skill level quickly.
Wheeling alone especially in deep snow can be a recipe for disaster...
Another vote for the Ford kit. With the info in this thread everything works on my 24 Wildtrak Lux

They’re on an upfitter switch. The SAE white driving are on the factory button.
These are the S1 trail. Meant for motorcycles I guess .

I should have mentioned that.
my 01 Excursion 7.3 would stall if I plugged in the MX+. I use the MX+ to read diagnostic codes only..

All of my NOCO 5 and 10s Genius can do lead acid, agm and lithium. Just have to cycle the mode button. They are fantastic. Have them on tractor, mower, utv, bronco and f350. Every battery is 4yo or more. No problems on any of them. Some equipment sits months between uses

That was one of greatest advantages to putting an Atlas TC in my Rubicon. Used extensively in steep descents in Moab where tractions wasn’t an issue. With the 6MT and the Lo Lo on Atlas crawl must have been 150-200:1. No brakes needed
A weak battery is usually the first suspect It doesn’t have to be a low battery though. There must be some kind of timer for days without a start. Both my 24 Bronco and my 20 F350 often sit for weeks at a time. Both are plugged into NOCO Genius 10s. When I went to Norway for 2 weeks both...
