My family runs a mild all terrain on all of our vehicles year round. We have a 2004 Suburban 2500 and a 2000 Silverado 2500 regular cab, longbed (our 2017 JKU has all seasons, but we haven't driven it in the snow yet). Both are 4wd, but they rarely are in 4wd (unless we are plowing with the 2500). We just accelerate slow and plan on long braking distances. Between those and knowing how to control a slide, none of us have wound up in the ditch yet.
