I did drive a full time 4wd 360 Durango once come to think of it in the snow.
I blasted past a grader the county was using for a snowplow at full throttle
just for kicks and it was rock solid, though I suspect full time 4wd behaves
differently than 4Hi due to having a center diff. I was on a date with a 6'8"
tall blonde lady at the time, and it was her Durango. We never went out again
after that; I don't know if it was me or just my driving:

"Hey, does this thing have antilock brakes?"
"Umm, I don't know?"
<slams on brakes> "Nope, it doesn't."
"OH MY GOD!"
