Not to pile on here, but if I was till doing 50 mile commutes on not the best maintained sometimes slushy interstate roads where there are lane changes (these need to be well planned), this would tick me off. I wouldn't be able to power through a slush pile built up between lanes with the type of auto case used in the RAM. There is no power driving the front wheels so hydroplaning would be intense. In fact in any situation, actively powered tires have much less tendency to hydroplane. Some other auto cases preload the front axle which is better. Locking the axles together and letting the tires slip to mitigate windup works best, for that situation. I know, another 0.1%, but its the difference in retaining control and off into a ditch or worse.
