People in SUV's think they are invincible. I have a full size Ford Bronco. In snow i see people in SUV's passing by me like i'm goin backwards. When they sell these things, they shoudnt let them take it out of the dealership until they get driving lessons on them All the spinouts and accidents i see involve SUVS.
Drivers of these have no concept of the capabilities of 4x4's They are no better then a 2wd on ice or packed snow. Like Aurel said, 4x4 is good for getting out of deep snow and the like. Not to drive faster in bad conditions. Ive had a 4x4 since i started driving (23yrs), I've learned all the pros and cons of them. I dont claim to be an expert on winter driving. But I know enough not to kill my self!!
