Expeditions are pretty much same as a 4x4 pickup. The 1st gen had the highest ground clearance. The newer models are getting lower, for soccer moms. Mine goes through deep Buffalo snow, with no problem. No shoveling required, to get out of driveway. I only used 4Whi and 4Wlo a few times. Goodyear Wranglers, do alright and are not too loud. I only got briefly stuck on ice. The truck slid off driveway and had a rear wheel on grass. The other three were on hard packed ice/snow. All four wheels spun and would not grip.
