With 2WD once you have lost traction on either driven wheel you ARE

Incorrect for modern vehicles equipped with limited-slip
differentials...


Limited-slip differentials are primarily used on 2WD sports cars. 4WD is
a MUCH better option: if you lose traction on one wheel you have 3
others providing traction vs one. I haven't seen any SUVs where this is
an option, anyway.


Something with Landrover or Jeep written on it will do the job. G-Wagen
or Land Cruiser also count.
