For AWD (snow and rain, soft-road), Subaru is the standard by which all others are measured. Toyota has good ones in their Highlander and Rav4. Volvo XC70 is also nice, but why not just get the original, the Subaru?
If I were buying a 4wd truck in the near future, I would get something cheap and used to last a year or two until the really nice, efficient diesel engines start hitting the states.

I've driven two Toyotas, a GMC, a Subaru and a Jeep Cherokee regularly in the snow. As much as two feet deep, no kidding. The best 4WD in the world by far for snow has been the Jeep
