I'm suprised that someone hasn't got on here yet ranting about how "4x4 will only get you stuck worse than if you didn't have it."

Well they are capable of that given the right driver.

No but stopping on ice/packed snow is the great equalizer, just because you can get up and go quicker than I can doesn't mean anything. Because when you try to stop we're all equal. . .

That's why I believe in chains.

I love how I constantly hear I can’t stop so my 4X4 is no better than my old Audi A6 Quattro. Granted ice sucks no matter who you are but if you haven’t driven a Jeep Wrangler with even semi decent tires you honestly have no concept what they are capable of doing. The major difference is getting on top of the snow rather than making ruts driving through it.

I will concede that 16 MPG kinda sucks though.

Didn't say you couldn't stop, you can stop just as well as anyone else, your 4x4 doesn't make a bit of difference in the stopping game and I had plenty of Jeep when I lived in Cali and have been on snow and ice with killer tires, I ran DC Thornbirds on my CJ5 and 16 would have been a dream back then try 6mpg.
