I do know what driving in a winter that got 396 inches of snow feels like! I wouldn't pay the extra money and lower fuel economy for AWD over a front wheel drive car. I would agree about your expedition, as it's rear wheel drive, which can be miserable in the snow.</P>

I want to thank everyone for all the suggestions and recommendations. Even though the response for the <BR>Chrysler/Dodge minivans was overwhelming I'm afraid I won't be considering one. They have stopped making the<BR>AWD version and living in Iowa during the winter makes AWD or 4WD just about mandatory. Each winter there has<BR>been somewhere we just HAD to get to and without the 4WD on the Expedition we wouldn't have made it.<BR>So...<BR>Looks like either a Toyota Sienna or Ford Flex. Between model years like we are inventories are pretty low.<BR>Thanks to the Internet I was able to cast a pretty broad net so should be hearing from dealers as the 2010's<BR>come in.<BR>Thanks everyone!<BR>JLK<BR> <BR></P>
