After many winters driving 2WD and FWD cars in the snow, I'm a big fan of 4WD. I also do the 2WD til I need it technique, but a lot of times, if I'm getting out in the morning before the plow makes its second pass (Which happens a lot), I'm not even getting out of the driveway without 4WD. Of course, I live in the far north corner of the state, but with the snowfall we've had the last few years, that doesn't seem to matter.

I've got two to choose from: My 2001 Jeep Wrangler and my 2000 GMC Yukon XL. I love my Jeep, but judging by the posts above, I'm guessing you're as tall or taller than I am, and you really have to love a Jeep Wrangler to cram yourself into it and therefore, I'm guessing that's out. Having said that, the Yukon is full of awesome. Mine's the XL (3/4 ton) with the 6.0 Vortec. It's a big, heavy monster with a lot of interior room. Drawback? Gas guzzler. But I only commute with it when it snows, so if I can get to work and home safely and sanely it's worth the gas money to me. Just my two pennies.
