to be fair dodge does not sell 4x4 minivans any longer so if any probability of getting stuck in a snowbelt is in the picture a minivan won't do
That's all based on the assumption of needing 4WD for snow, such as because of some job that compels one to travel when the roads haven't been serviced yet.
Some job? Haha. The roads here are simply horrible in the winter. I have a 400 ft driveway that drifts 5 times/day after a storm. The ice is also horrendous. Do you think my Camry can drive through 18 inches of snow?
Looky here:

Can you see any....all season treads?
Notice the beast by the basketball court? That day in February, I drove that to work without even lifting a shovel. I'm sure a ....dodge van could have handled it ;)
Now take a gander at Nash's photos again, looking
for tire tread. All you'll find where its evident are "All Season" tread patterns.Again, you're delusional. All season tread patterns? Where would those be? What a hoot. -hh can tell by my pics that there are all season tread patterns...God knows where ;)
Take a look at these, stupid:

Notice the all season treads on that babe.
And just for you, look at the studded 17 inch Coopers. The pics in the summer are my vehicle with 18 inch mags. I drive with the tire sensor light in because of the smaller tires, but c'est la vie.

Well before his 2008 lease, Car&Driver magazine published a head-to- head test of 4WD vs Snows, and Snows beat 4WD in 8 of 10 tests.I know you could never afford a $75,000 truck so your disbelief is understandable ;)
I'll dig out my contract for you next time I go to work and have access to scanner.
Conclude what you will: either there's no significant "Snow" requirement for the vehicle, or Nash was poor in doing his research and bought the wrong feature, or that Nash didn't care because he was buying to "compensate" :-)Of course I was ;) It has nothing to do with safety or it being a tool for my needs.
Oh yes, but mine drive in style ;) Don't you wish you could afford one? ;) And there is far more space and metal between me and the outside world in a Sequoia Plat than in a minivan. You go right ahead and drive in a minivan.AD-hh
I've seen an awd chevy astro in urop but never in the states. So you could not replace an suv with an awd with a full size van in the states either.
Chevy used to sell the 4WD version of the Astro in the USA; don't know if they still do.
Even so, it still begs the question of "Full sized for what?". There's still no sign of an 8,000lb trailer of anything as per that "Specifications" brag, let alone a bevy of kids (which usually fit better in 3 row minivans than in SUVs anyway).
And with the sticker
on the thing, Heaven forbid if Nash has ever whined about Apple products being overpriced :-)So now you're stating that I actually bought it? Are you confused..again?
And do post your fictional research from Car and Driver about 4WD vs "Snows", whatever the heck you're trying to say.
