    I am a 4wd guy, not big on running anything else in the snow, but... 4wd was not a super popular option untill the late 70's or early 80's. many people prior to that popularity got along just fine in 2wd trucks, cars and all that good stuff. maybe we just forgot how to drive

    ^And I remember my parents telling me, (who live at the bottom of Baggaley ridge) that it wasn't that odd to have a knock on the door during a snow storm from people who couldn't make it up the hill. You know back in the day when people were neighborly. They would stay for a bit till the plow truck rolled by and carry on home.

    My buddies Grandpa who got into 4 wheel drives at the start lol would hop in his truck during snow storms and cruise the ridges looking for stuck people. He claimed it was his duty since he had a 4 wheel drive lol.

    id go with a 4-cyl s-10 but thats just me... never clocked the milage but compared to my jeep or my k2500 it was amazing on gas. that and comfy as hell. Never got it stuck in the snow, only had one bad moment and that was my fault for not throwing any sand in the bed

    I'd look at a 99-up Silverado or Sierra. My Silverado is a, ext cab, 5.3L, 4x4. Its fuel milage is, 17 running the hammer off it, 20 if you baby it. It's not a race truck by any means, but they are dependable and get good fuel milage. The price is super reasonable on older ones with reg cabs as most folks want an extended or crew cab.
