It isn’t.
I got through the worst winter in 60 years with what most people would call the WORST possible vehicle: a short-wheelbase, high torque, 2WD pickup! (V8 regular cab Dakota) For about 99.9% of drivers, 4WD is not needed.
Maybe in New England that's true. It certainly isn't in Idaho, and I'm sure happy I live out here in the wide open spaces of the west.- I've ventured many times into the Colorado mountains to go skiing and have never used a 4 wheel drive vehicle. And really never felt the need for one. Heck, at one time Vail police used Saab 900 turbos for their fleet, no 4 wheel drive there.
As long as you know the limitations of your vehicle you'll do fine. Flashman wrote:

- There is also a part of Washington that is land locked by British Columbia. The only way to reach it to drive into Canada or by boat.
