Using anedotal stories like "I saw this guy coming at me sideways on the highway. Guess what he was driving? Yup, a 4X4." Straw argument and actually just plain silly. Doesn't prove anything and toally lacks any reasoning. Plenty of people have gone sideways driving 2 WD. It's trying to equate that losing control is caused by a 4 WD. Doesn't show that at all. A knucklehead who overdrives a 4 WD are the same knuckleheads who overdrive a 2 WD. If that argument was true then the ditches would be full of 4 WD and 2 WD vehicles would be cruising on down the road. Doesn't happen.
When it snows here which is seldom the ditches are full of 4WD trucks, it's hilarious. That is because the 2WD trucks are sitting at home. MY TV is 2WD and it sits on the driveway when it is icy because I know better.
YEP!
That is because many believe that buy a 4X4 because it's COOL, believe that allows them to ignore the laws of physics!
4X4 will give you an advantage in snow and ice (ice to a degree) as all wheels are driving, BUT all vehicles bot 4X2 and 4X4 have four wheel brakes, that and I have in an empty parking lot done some nice four wheel power drifts with my 4X4!
