Well, I can't speak for how old Taco's handle in the snow but i can't possibly handle it very well.
I have driven my H3 in the snow a couple of times. It handles very well. One time was on he highway in a heavy snow storm and didn't even have a need to lock the hubs. The other time was local and drove through an empty parking lot where it was up to the bottom of the doors. I was very impressed and I don't even have the Adventure package with the rear locker.
