and that thing eats through snow ,too bad my jeep is broke down because she just plows through anything . i pulled a stuck fully loaded pickup truck with a trailer behind it from the mud last winter ,and i also added a 3 1/3 inch lift this past summer and now she sits because i can't work on her till the weather warms up.

Best car I ever had for use when the snow comes was my Fiat Panda 4x4. I once pulled an X5 out of a ditch with that thing.
DAF 44s, 55s and DAF or later Volvo-badged 66s are good too because each belt only drives one rear wheel so, because the pulleys can expand or close but cannot fail to turn, it's effectively an LSD but on a grand scale and with Kevlar belts instead of expensive plates that can wear and fail to grip.

And in the extremely unlikely event that the Panda couldn't deal with the odd foot of snedge here and there, its seats turned into an acceptable double bed so it was possible to bunk down for the night and get digging again the next morning.

These days, I keep a filthy old RRC - its original petrol V8 long since ditched in favour of a Perkins Diesel - on standby, taxed and tested, in the steading I use to store my cars but, so far this winter, only an inch has fallen and the daily MK7 Golf copes fine with that in spite of its ground clearance not being the best ever.
