"They are both AWD and that won't make it up my driveway in the winter and the road to my house during MUD week."

Either you live on a truly awful road or you don't know how to drive. I used to drive a solid mile of red clay to get from home to the paved road and I drove it in a 57 chevy car among others. This was pure red clay mud when it rained with ruts so deep the whole bottom of the car would bang and so slick that it was almost impossible to walk on. Most people have no idea how to drive on slick surfaces.

As a fellow native of South Carolina I can tell you have not driven in the frgid north much.

My driveway sometimes has over 12" of snow and ice on it and is at a 45 degree angle with no approach for a running start, just a 90 degree turn off a dirt road.

And the dirt road in the spring, which is referred to as MUD week when the frost comes out of the ground, has mud that is over a foot deep.

My 4X4 Jeep makes it in a breeze. My wife's AWD Subaru has to wait for the plow on our driveway and bottoms out on the road in MUD week.

Having grown up in red clay I can truthfully say, "It don't come close."
