I have two 70 lb sand bags and a 90 lb chunk of alloy steel (rejected part) from work. A rear wheel drive Ranger is a pain in Fargo's six month winter.

Worst damn vehicle I bought was a Mazda 2300 2WD. Nice little truck, but I swear I got the damn thing stuck going DOWNHILL in the snow.

Last time I ever had a 2WD pickup.

Fargo does the worst job of keeping the streets clean I have ever seen. Tell them that there is this new thing called salt. You spread it on the streets and the snow melts.

I'm curious, because I live in the south California desert. I'd think front wheel drive (like we have on both our cars) would be worse on ice in the event of loss of traction...am I right, or is my thinking flawed?

240 lbs of sand bags in the back of my 4WD Ranger and it still sucks in the snow.
