http://www.omninerd.com/articles/4WD_vs_AWD_and_the_Fallacy_of_Snow_Traction

People all worried their truck isn't truck enough. Must be rough.

there is this thing called snow.

it often is an obstacle, here, at high elevation.

i have never driven or owned an AWD automobile, but Audi and Subaru are the most popular

cars in SLC. everybody else drives a 4x4 truck.

on the traction thing, my honey drives an awd car with studded tires, and it's like a little tank. on icy or snow packed roads i feel safer in that than in the truck. but when there's slush or drifting snow the heavier vehicle with bigger tires is steadier. i know guys who have studded tires on their trucks too, but sooo expensive.

7,000 vs. 4,000, tard. You can't even see as high as I be.

I was more bragging that I never have to worry if my rig is truck enough. Unless I'm going uphill or towing. Then it is decidedly SLUG.

gets great gas mileage, turns on a dime, fits in small parking spaces....

and for us - a perfect delivery van for our business.

4x4 won out over AWD:

Nice. I've really liked the newer Fords I've driven lately. Go get it dirty.
