Yep, this is why the Ridgeline is pretty attractive as a regular use winter vehicle. The bed is pretty stupid though. And yes, the ugly.

Aren't the "trucky" 4wd systems kind of silly unless you're off roading? Plus they generally come with open front and rear diffs, so it's still just 2wd. It doesn't seem like the functionality most people would want. I think the up side is durability, but other than that...
