What are you lookin to spend?
I'd have to say Subaru if you have a couple k to drop into a 93ish Legacy Wagon.
Invincible in snow, they've got enough spunk to tow some snowmobiles, and the AWD is awesome. I've driven the S10 Blazers. They are nothing to talk about for snow traction, their 4wd isn't very good, they have front end issues, and the older ones are gutless with the 2.8L.
The Explorer isn't really for the winter beater budget minded, the Bronco II is, well, a Bronco II. Probably hated more than the Mustang II, lol.
There is a rather obscure AWD Ford Tempo, that makes 150hp, but it's a Tempo, and they aren't exactly known for reliability.
I guess I'd take the Subaru over the rest. Better traction, cheap, and pretty reliable.
