Getting close to the clearance of your car, no? The problem with a car when it runs out of clearance, it runs out everywhere since it's so flat underneath. You end up high centering on the snow and have to dig the whole thing out.

In a truck, you'll bury the differential, but the rest of the frame won't be resting on top of the snow. Much easier to dig out a differential than an entire car.
