I beg to differ, but the first question is are we talking a FWD vehicle or a RWD vehicle for the one that has 2WD.

If we are talking about a FWD crossover/car with snow tires on it vs a AWD version of said vehicle on all season I can see your point( I would still take the AWD)

If you are talking about RWD though, as is the case with the trucks. Give me 4x4 all day in winter vs a 2wd truck with snow tires.
