Grew up in western Colorado.
Learned how to drive during a bad winter in a two-wheel drive pickup with an open differential (one-wheel drive...always the wrong one).

Only time I've ever used chains for snow was once in a UPS truck as a precautionary measure.
(Chained up one tire heading up a pass because snow kept getting worse and it was a long ways to the next pull-off)

Just need rear-wheel drive, tires with some tread, and some weight in the tail.
