My Yukon is the best vehicle I have ever driven in the snow. I use 4x4 (or Auto) if there is even a hint of slippery conditions though. Some guys are afraid to use 4x4, I am not in that group...

I know all about the stopping. I use the gears to slow down. I learned my lesson going off and icy hill sideways and almost rolling into a ditch in my old rodeo. luckily i didnt care cause it was a beater that i traded a bbq grill for

You should have no problem, especially being 4wd and good tires.
Being 2wd, I have had no issues, having a LSD good tires and and a little extra weight and never got stuck. I actually slid off the road once and was able to get out without a tow.

I hate starting winter on nearly bald tires, last time I did that I had to buy a new rim because I hit a curb. Just remember to go slow (reasonably, not 10mph in a 60 zone) and 4wd will not help you stop. Light on the throttle, no sudden movements, and you'll get around fine. Follow these rules and you will never get stuck, at least I haven't.

There was that time I had to break out the shovel and chain up the tires, but that was on 4 feet of snow and miles off-road...

That Hoe will do great getting you through anything the weather throws at you. Pushed snow over my grille before. Biggest concern is going into turns too fast. All that weight will try to keep going straight no how you you turn the wheel. If you do go into a turn keep on the power ever so lightly and stay off the brakes. ABS works breat but dosen't help get you out of a jam on a snow laden turn. Good luck
