In the San Antonio press event video for the new RL, they drive the truck over a large mound of dirt that suspends the right rear tire above the ground. Sensors detect no traction and cut power so that the wheel does not spin. I'm wondering if your snow drift lifted the rear wheels enough to cause the sensors to detect no traction at those wheels and thus no power was delivered there. Also, I do believe that Sand (not Snow) mode on the i-VTM4 is supposed to lock power to the rear wheels...but maybe not if the system has overheated....I tired snow/stuck vehicle and sand modes to get out but neither worked. That's when my friends chimed in that the rear tires were not spinning. I still can't figure out why that was. We ended up calling a buddy and he pulled the truck about a foot with his impreza and the rear tires on my truck started spinning and I backed right out. It was a wildly disappointing experience. I wish vtm-4 lock was still a thing because I don't think I would have gotten stuck had I been able lock the truck into awd...
