I have a Mitsubishi Pajero 2005 4×4 with option of Manual 2WD (Rear), 4×4 Fulltime, 4×4 high & low including electronic traction control & ABS.

I drive this car in the Desert where the wheels are 6-10 inches deep in sand and it really require a lot of power to keep the car moving.. Infact I have felt that this car does the job extremly well in handling such situation. I put the Car in 4×4 High on low sand and 4×4 on deep sand conditions and it just work well..

Infact I have pulled out numrous cars stuck deep in sand spinning rear/front wheel of those people who beleives that their expensive sedan must have all the necessary equipment & Power to take them out of sand… !!!

I am not sure how it would work on snow/ice as we dont have it but it is quite stable during rain as well… I beleive the traction control & ABS keep it from spinning…

But nothing compared to Cautious driving in extreme condition, as mentioned "No Surprise/sudden moves..!!! is the key.

Good luck, drive safe and enjoy your rides.
