every 4 wheel drive owner can tell you that their pickup / expedition will go from the worst traction on snow / mud to the best traction when they push that little button for 4 wheel drive .
i bought a suburban with 2 wheel drive because i wanted the 454 engine and GM did not offer 4wd with that engine at the time .
i did order positraction but because the weight is light on the rear wheels it still was poor traction at any snow or wet boat ramps or grassy meadows .
i drive the mighty Cascade Mountain range frequently .
I have never seen a 2 wheel drive pickup pull a car out of a snowbank .
with my 4 wd pickups i have pulled many out of snowdrifts just using the yellow nylon strap and a short length of chain .
For that matter I would say that no 2wd pickup could pull a 4wd pickup out of a ditch that the 4wd pickup could not get out by itself .
Scale weight on my diesel gmc are 55 % front and 45 % rear .
With a big family and an equivalent trailer you are best served with a 3 /4 ton with bigger brakes and heavier payload than the lighter weight expedition .
