I put 300 lbs. of sand in the bed for better traction. The Camry AWD is very good as well.
That explains how I was able to pull an F-350 out of the snowbank on 107 with my MB wagon with all-weather tires. My current allroad with all-weather tires is definitely eager to please when I travel Maine, NH and VT. allroads have a higher ground clearance and it is not an SUV.
