I dont think thats what he meant. When snow starts to get really tall ground clearance and under axle clearance really start to come into play. I think his point is that a fwd car with X snow tire and a rwd (not 4wd) truck with the same size snow tire will perform nearly the same.
I mean you can argue it to death and start busting out ridiculous **** like well if you had lockers instead of open/open 4wd youd be 1/2 as likely to get stuck.
The first year we got snow back me and my G/F went out in her 02 corolla. All 120hp of it and non stud'd snow tires and we couldnt get stuck on anything that had seen a plow.
The only time a FWD car really has an advantage is when your talking about VS an unloaded 2wd pickup. They are gluttons for the punishment of stuck in the snow, its ridiculous. An SUV isnt empty weight over the rear tires like a truck.
