Avoid that Chrysler like the plague.

IMO if you are truly experiencing mud season there’s no replacement for ground clearance. An AWD car will get stuck on an otherwise passable road if it bottoms out. A tall vehicle with FWD and decent tires will still likely make it through.

I think it’s important to know what degree of mud season you experience. Like some of the comments here indicate to me that people are like “oh yeah the half mile of dirt road I travel once a week gets kinda squishy so I know mud season!” - meanwhile there have been entire months of March where I can’t drive my 4wd truck within half a mile of my house. And trucks taller/four-wheel-drivier than mine are stuck.
