He keeps the car up a Uconn in upstate CT, they get a heck of a lot of snow. He passed many a stuck SUV.

What year is your friend's E300D and does it have ESP from what you know?
Just because a vehicle is an SUV doesn't mean it will always been good in snow... rear wheel drive SUVs can actually be worse than our rear wheel drive cars due to the large tires. I've seen too many of them stuck on snow around here.
