Every van I have had is utterly useless in any amount of snow. Luckily we don't get much at all here in Plymouth.
 
It's a RWD van and it has the usual traction control, so no probably not. But it's driven by a Scotsman who can! There's no way I will allow my company to miss a day of productivity due to snow!!
 
The only problem is trying to cope with the loads of people down here in England who can't seem to drive in snow. They all seem to block roads and panic. They are the real menace tbh.

snow chains
 
Never needed them in the UK. A simple plumber's blowtorch to melt enough snow around the tyre to get started is all that's needed.

Would most likely need them for mountain areas though.
 
Do you think it'll start then? Snow tyres in readiness in the garage.
hasent failed to yet first turn of the key everytime,TBH its been far more reliable than my expert that thing was a mare fo electrical issues
 
My old Mazda e2000 used to be a beast in the snow. Haven't tried the renault traffic yet but I'm sure it'll disappoint.

the other point to this thread other than to **** everyone off is to get you lot to order snow chains or get winter tyres in so you can cope
 
I got stuck on the bwlch mountain last year in the snow it was like surviver Blow lamp to melt snow for a cup of tea in the van while the boy dug us out ha ha

Was a very bad judgement tbh I drove though Ogmore vale looked ok got to the bottom of the mountain ahhhh b ok very wrong the snow was to the van bumper had to reverse down because it was so bad very scary
 
Taking out the land rover brigade (fair play to you) it's not just the van can cope but also your driving style.
good point 4x4,s will cope with snow but they will also slide out of control if your not skilled
