Skidding is the same 2X4 or 4X4 and the objects you strike have the same resistance.

I can absolutely concur that is the case. 4x4 in deep snow, great. Stopping on slippery roads: a whole different story. I've seen a'plenty Explorer, Jeep, 4-wheel truck slowly sliding towards the ditch, trees & certain doom as I have cars. Frankly, I don't see any more RWD's ditched than I do FWD's. If you don't drive with your head you're screwed no matter what you drive. That said; I'll still be driving the Cougar this winter unless, like Chuck above, the weather is nice. After all, I still need my Xfire fix!
