AWD vs 4x4 in ice conditions
So we all can agree about ice conditions, it sucks for all types of drivetrains> Now the driver may be able to drive through the situation with ease (traction control or not, lockers or not, chain tires or not) because of experience. If you put a kid in the best 4×4 or AWD vehicle setup they will still get stuck or run off in a ditch with an inch of power snow on the ground. But it goes back to the point of: learn how to drive, stay home, or MOVE SOUTH.
Has anyone mentioned the full-time 4×4 Hummers(H2 & H3)?

There is a reason that people jokingly put “H2 Recovery Team” badges on the side of their Jeeps. H2’s are some monstrous beasts that don’t exactly live up to the hype. It’s only advantage on snow is that it weighs twice as much as any other SUV.
H2’s weigh so much that technically they’re illegal on many suburban streets … not that it’s ever enforced, but they exceed the permitted tonnage.
