[MetroMPG]

Assuming people are actually choosing to drive trucks in slippery conditions when they have the option of another vehicle with objectively better driving dynamics, my guess is because it makes them FEEL safer.

If you're gonna crash (or be crashed into) better to do it in the F150!

Similar logic that has people feeling safer driving CUV's/SUV's that have twice the rollover rate of a sedan.

It's been years since I had the pleasure of driving a RWD vehicle in the snow. Every once in a while I think it'd be fun to take the MPGiata out for a rip, but I never do. I'm slightly embarassed to admit I've rarely even swung the back end out on a gravel road in that thing.
