That big heavy truck with no weight over the rear would be far less safe over the pass in the snow in 4x4 mode than the Saab would be FWD w/ no chains. Ideally, I'd take the SVX w/ the snow tires on it... then I'd cruise right past the chain controls, and have plenty of low-stress snow driving.

Our Tundra is pretty damn good in the snow. Having the added weight of the shell in the back probably helps. You might want to consider it.
