This. Needed 4x4 low this afternoon to back out of an ice covered parking spot that was on a slight incline. Two wheel drive and 4x4 high was not getting it done.

My current is AWD. That is my preference. Previous 2 were also.
My 2WD is really just 1WD or 0WD when it gets slick.
A tracked vehicle would be nice.
With experience and patience 2wd will do. When I was feeding a lot of livestock I went to 4x4 because when you need it you are glad you have it. On slick roads my front wheel drive jeep is the best handling I've ever had.
Have 2 4x4s- my bigazz lifted K5 Blazer stays in CA up on the mountain at the other place where it snows like its never going to stop but gladly no ice, and out here I keep my lil lifted S-10 Blazer 4x4 to put around in and play with down on our land- I like to run BFG AT KOs on both; had 3 4x4s but gave my son my Mitsubishi AWD/4x4 for HS graduatiuon. My dd GMC Envoy 2WD RWD SUV I drive year round from OK to Iowa to CA and back and lately on monthly trips to Denver, the Yokohamas on it are great in all kinds of weather, it replaced my beloved badazz Tahoe (that some bitch last summer slammed into from behind at 70mph pushing me into another guy in front of me totalling hers and making mine all Fd up). The wife has a lil FWD Honda CR-V SUV that she commutes in to Tulsa and back in and hasnt been able to get it stuck yet (she was born and raised in Minnesota if that matters), shes on her 3rd CR-V and just loves em but favors FWD over AWD. I have 2 Japanese and 2 American sports cars, all RWD and all with fat low profile summer/performance tires- they dont usually get out at all in nasty weather. Like a dumbazz I buried the Infinity G35 last winter, it was parked off to the side of the driveway buried under snow, I had left it there before it snowed instead of taking it to the storage unit. I tried backing it out to go take it to storage, but instead got it stuck. I was just going to let it sit out there under a cover until winter was over but the ol lady went right out there and got it right out. My manhood is still intact: she grew up in Minnesota, I grew up in southern CA...

Pretty simple but not as much fun as kibitzing over which is better.
In order of what will get you going when the going gets tough.
1. 4x4 or AWD
2. Front Wheel Drive
3. Rear Wheel Drive car.
4. Rear Wheel Drive pick up, this can get stuck on wet leaves if the front wheels are in any kind of depression.

LOL I have had a couple of 4x4's. Currently have a 2wd and have a lock right locker in the rear. Carry a set of chains as well. I prefer the fuel economy myself. Now that fuel is so cheap......LOL maybe its time for a big truck.
A 4X4 can get you stuck in some really bad, really remote places. So that's cool.
