In bad weather, tyres rule the roost. All these cars/trucks with AWD carrying extra weight and complexity for what exactly? 90% of people just do not need AWD but it has become a crutch for some reason.

when I lived in Buffalo most of the time cars that ended up in a ditch were f150, Tahoe and similar. I had Nissan Sentra and never had issues as long as it was driven appropriately for conditions and maintained distance.
