It depends on how you drive in the snow. I've had all sorts of vehicles, and had very good luck. Front wheel drive does great in the snow, until the snow is too deep. You have to keep moving. Don't use low range, use high range. Steer into your skids. If your back end starts skidding to the right, turn right into the skid and let off the power some. It should straighten out. Remember, 4x4 gets you going much better than 4x2, but YOU CANNOT STOP ANY BETTER THAN A 4x2. Give yourself plenty of stoppping distance and don't go too fast. I've seen plenty of people in 4x4's stuck in the snow. Most were in low range with there wheels barely moving.
