They actually plow for 4 inches of snow? I got around on four inches of
PACKED snow (14 total) last year without chains. I just put the truck (4x4
PU) in 4 high and went slow.
I will say on some of the back streets, I did put it in 4 low. You should
not have a problem with the CUCV or the duce, unless their is ICE under that
snow.
Good Luck
