Like Dad always said, it just lets you get stuck further from the road.
Pay attention to what you're doing, drive with some sense, and some extra weight in the bed, and you'll do fine most of the time.
Of course, we rarely get snow here, and very little of it most of the time, so it's not needed. The most snow I've seen here is 24" at one time, and I didn't need to go anywhere anyway, for a couple of days. Good tires and common sense can do more than 4WD, if you're not stupid.
You can roll a turd in peanuts, dip it in chocolate, and it still ain't no damn Baby Ruth.
