I had a 2wd 2008 Diesel, Dually for 8 years , not once did I get stuck anywhere.

matter of fact, ice storm hit north Texas for multiple days, could not get out of driveway with my 2006 charger

so, drove the diesel back and forth to work for 3 days until it melted

I owned my last 4x4 in 2000

my cars here are AWD however
