That depends on what you mean by a mountain. Anything less than 8,000 feet is a foothill.
I like the comfort on knowing that I don't have to worry if I can climb up a dirt road at 8500 feet. But, I have no idea how high the mountains are anywhere east of Denver.
I did slip once in 2 wheel drive. This was pulling out of a campsite into a hard right 90 degree turn up a slope that was 30 degrees of dust and gravel. I'll let someone else figure out what the percent grade was.
Though I have no plans to intentionally camp in the snow, when camping at the end of November in the Sierras, you can get surprised.
