Agreed. My wife's vehicle is a Yukon Denali with AWD. I use a separate set of wheels and winter tires (Bridgestone Winter Duelers, equivalent of Blizzaks for trucks). It is very good in snow and ice but......5,600 Lbs of steel does not want to stop or turn on a surface with reduced traction. In that respect, it's worse than a car.
Unfortunately, there are a lot of numb nuts out there who can't fathom the concept of inertia. A body in motion tends to stay in motion unless acted upon by an external force.....
tires gripping the road
trees
other cars
guard rails
snowbanks
etc.
