I don't know. DH has driven his two-wheel drive pick-ups in snow and no problem IF you know HOW to drive in snow. We've managed to get out of muddy muck "who knows how deep" with that two-wheel drive Ford F-150 right past 4x4s that were stuck...maybe they were in the worst muck or maybe they just weren't as experienced with driving in fudge icing.

ETA: The truck is standard. But I grew up in Washington State...the EASTERN side. We got some serious snow and if you wanted or needed to go over to Seattle, you better have chains on board. All Mom and Dad owned were two wheel drive cars, but man were they heavy (50's and 60's)
Only one time did we let a friend with a 4x4 Bronco take over the work of our own truck and that involved a mud slicked hill EVERYONE was struggling with.
