As long as you pay attention they aren’t too bad. I made 3 winters in my 86 Ranger 2WD including one blizzard without getting stuck. Just don’t expect it to do great. Granted I made sure it was properly preped with snow tires, and a few sand-bags,

Personally though I found it a lot more fun in the snow than my previous front wheel drive cars. Plus snow-banks/curbs didn’t stand a chance against the Twin-I’s. :tup:
