    Having pulled more than one 'ru out of a snow filled ditch with my tractor, I’m not overly impressed by their owners abilities to actually drive in heavy snow. Including one a Son in law of mined owned. He now owns an Audi and it’s somewhat better. I generally have found Subaru owns are only just a tiny bit more low key than Jeep owners about their unshakable belief in thinking they can go anywhere with that Ru. Hint: No, no you can’t.

    For full disclosure: I do own a Jeep, a 2015 Patriot, that’s fair in snow. Where I live, we have long, cold, often snowy winters. And unless you live in a town or along a paved highway, snow plowing by a township or even county can involve a wait of a day or two before they can get to you sometimes. So 4x4 pickup trucks are the more common vehicle seen here. And they always have a snowplow mounted to them during winter. But very, very few Jeeps or Ru’s are to be seen here.
