It wasn't a bash against trucks, only the truth that if clearance isn't an issue, an AWD (or FWD) car performs better in the snow than an unloaded truck.
I own a Dodge/Cummins, so I know all about the utility and capabilities. I've also spent 30 frantic seconds trying to regain control of it when I hit a patch of black ice. Any car with 4 wheels would have been easier to recover than that truck.
Since the OP was considering replacing the truck with a Focus, it's obvious the reduction of towing isn't a concern. The only other consideration would then be winter driving performance, which a truck is poor at.
