Curious, what percentage of the time do people need to use 4wd in the winter to get around on the roads?
How well would someone from WA know the winter road conditions (ability of WI Dot to plow) in WI or any where in the Great Lakes region?
There ya go making assumptions...lol. If it helps you sleep at night not wondering how someone who lives in WA (where it also snows, lol) would know what snow conditions in WI are like, I am not "from" WA, I am "from" the upper midwest and I've "lived" in the western mountains or nearby from AZ to AK since coming from the midwest, save for a year back in N WI. And while most of y'all are arguing the finer points of a wdh for your camper, all winter, I try to find the biggest snow strom and drive into it, with a 28' trailer in tow, so I can go try not to get too stuck on the side of a mountain somewhere with something with 1 wheel drive (but it's a big wheel with big treads, lol).
And snow is snow, except it's different based on moisture content and temperature. I'd actually take my chances in an average WI winter with no 4wd than in Western WA....because the snow is slippery-er here.
"Need" 4wd? Idk, sometimes it's needed sometimes it's a luxury, sometimes its of no use (hence most 4wd vehicles have this little lever or switch to turn it off). I could live without alot of luxuries. We all could, but if you have the means?
