Yeah, it really depends on the consistency of the snow, but tbf, my last car was an AWD Evo X with a front spoiler and a snow setting for the ACD. As long as shit wasn't frozen solid, it would eventually push through or over damn near anything that would've gotten my prior FWD cars stuck. Heavy wet snow just took more tries or more speedI actually would have paid to watch anyone with an automobile, either rear wheel or front wheel drive, try to get out of the street and into my driveway. The video is a bit misleading as I had already driven over the snowbank and then backed through it again so my wife could get the video she wanted. It was quite a bit higher before I drove over it twice.
The issue in this instance is you can't "plow" through this snow. I didn't realize that until I got out my snow blower to clear that snowbank away. The temperature was about 30 degrees so the snow should be soft, maybe even fluffy. Ah, nope. Because the snow was so wet as well as compacted by the snowplow it was HARD. My snowblower couldn't cut through it and my snow shovel wanted to bounce off it rather than dig in. Had to get my spade shovel out to chop it into smaller pieces and then heave the snow into my yard.
What you're saying is 100% correct though, if the snow wants to play along.
