Fwd or 4wd with trailer? Need advice

aarong5 said

Tomorrow it is supposed to snow 10 in. Here and I am a courier that drives 300 miles a day. Usually I drive a Chrysler town and country (front wheel drive) but want to take my 4wd jeep tomorrow but I would most likely have to pull a 4x5 enclosed trailer if I take the jeep. My question is, would I be better off in fwd with no trailer or w4wd and small trailer. Nothing too heavy. It is in the mountains of eastern my by the way. Any advice is appreciated as I've been wondering this for a while but it has came decision time

Too late to help you for today, but here is something you might want to think about for the next time.

Pulling a trailer in snow can be dangerous, but trying to drive a van in deep snow can be a problem also.

If your jeep has a luggage rack make a box up or get a car top carriers to be able to carry all the stuff that doesn't fit inside on the top, or get a rack that goes into the trailer hitch and get some plastic totes and fill them and strap them on. Not sure what kind of jeep you have, but you might be able to get by without the trailer and much safer.
