The laws of Physics can be cruel as they apply to everyone.
When we were stationed in North Dakota my wife and I would leave base when the roads were "cleared" after a blizzard and travel the 15 miles to town. We would count all the vehicles stuck or upside down and most of them were four wheel drives. Every single time.

Too much testosterone and a big 4 wheel drive PU/SUV can be a bad combination.
If the snow isn’t knee high on a 9’ basket ball player, I prefer front wheel drive with the anti skid option. My wife’s Lexus 300 in rain and medium snow handles great. Better than my previous Blazer and Bronco with 4 wheel drives.
The Honda Ridge Line with its auto all wheel drive is very surefooted.
One of our younger generation got a Nissan Rogue helwith all wheel drive for his teen agers to drive a curvy 20+ mile each way trip with rain and sometimes snow/sleet to and from school. It has been an excellent and economical vehicle for two teen drivers.
