You are expressing what they call 'Syncro-envy'. It is easily remedied. Buy a Syncro or convert your 2wd. My Vanagon was locking diffs front and rear plus a turbodiesel for motivation. Seems more than adequate for snow vehicle. When things get really difficult, there is tree stump pulling G-gear. Put chains on her and she will practically climb walls. ;-)
