I would say: very difficult. I'd think you'd be better off compiling a list of 4WD vehicles and choosing from that. Unfortunately all the relatively light/non-truck ones I can think of are probably long gone (Tercel wagon, Honda Civic wagon, Subaru Loyale wagon, etc.)

Also we forgot to include this car on the list - probably the most complete DIY parallel hybrid (4WD) out there:
