As I drive both Subarus and trucks in the snow, I find they both have there own advantages, and yes, ***** size.
For most California/Sierra roads and passes, a Subaru will get you there. Where I prefer to have a truck is on back roads and streets that don't see the prissy plows every 5 minutes. Hell, pulling into parking lots, like the Safeway in Truckee this last week, every parking spot but the one covered by two feet of slush chunks would be impassable by a suby. Very often, my own safety is compromised by another motorist and my truck allows me to pull into and out of a snow bank to avoid a dumbass driver. When the plows come by and block you in with a wall of snow, you don't have to get out and shovel, you just drive through it.
For all out speed/control in light snow conditions, hands down to the AWD.
I love driving my suby in the rain, sooo much fun.

And yes, I'm "grumpy". I've been up for damn near 24 hours because I have insomnia.

I agree with what you said wrexr. In that particular case Truck > Subaru possibly. If you live somwhere like that and need a "specialized vehicle" then ok but the rest of the time trucks are pretty pointless/nuisance as a daily driver.
