The 2WD aren't worth a &*(* in snow. Put weight in the bed and a LWB is equal a classic Cadillac, only sits higher.

I'm old enough to have driven in the snow with old Cadillacs, Caprice, Gran Torino, 2wd trucks, etc. We received a lot more snow then too.

In 83 I drove a front wheel drive for the first time. It was a 4-door Datsun B310 on a stick, and what a surprise that was. I never looked back, but that Datsun remains by far the best front wheel car I've driven in snow, and it probably put a lot of 4WDs to shame.
