Effortless snow driving!!

Was reminded again, why i bought and love this car. 2 to 3 inches of snow, sat. nite into sunday, 26 mile drive to a party at friends house, wife and kid with, DOT had not plowed much yet, beautifull nite!! snow coming down, passing cars where i could, out accelerating crossovers, and suv's at stoplights and after the party,,, got to do it all over again on the return trip!! ps. its remarkable though how many AWD vehiches there are out there that CAN NOT handle a little adversity,, ( I know, its the drivers)

My 04 X with snows is a tank! Haven't encountered anything that can stop it! RWD with snow is good....but not this good! Son has a 2012 Explorer with all seasons and he can't touch me in the snow.....under a few inches of course when clearance becomes an issue. On snow packed roads, the difference is laughable.
