          i drive past 4wd trucks all the time in this stuff.

          AWD/4WD is win, but AWD/4WD with snow tires is winnier... lol

                Yeah I'm trying to avoid buying tires for the truck before selling it but if I do have to buy any tires I'm getting the cheapest snow tires I can find for it.

                    I just bombed around in the RACECAR on all seasons and it's a freakin' BEAST. Blowing by jeeps and 4wd trucks like they were going out of style!

                              Drove the jeep around a little bit, the tires suck in snow under 4in. The Benz has winterforces' so I'll be driving that.
