Tracked mini mini van

I am planning a mountain trip, went to start the track van and no go. Was able to troubleshoot it down to a bad in tank fuel pump. Bought a universal replacement pump that will be here in a few days. Dropping the tank was a PITA and concidered putting one on the frame and delete the in tank pump but that would be more work and I’m not sure what pump to use, so I’ll keep it OE
 
Are those little mini-trucks: 1) powerful enough to manage real snow conditions and 2) structurally strong enough to manage snow conditions?
 
Supercharged 3 cylinder makes 84hp and about the same torque, 4 speed transmission with hi-lo transfer case. It weighs 1500#, with the tracks on it the ground pressure is .68 which is very good. There are no belts and chains in the drive system, real transmission, clutch, transfer case and differentials with gears. It does very well in the snow and has plenty of power. The quality is as good as any Japanese vehicle, just smaller. When you sit in it, it doesn’t feel cramped like a ranger or razor, actually feels like my Nissan frontier with the steering wheel on the wrong side. They are made by all of the major auto companies in Japan, Suzuki, Honda and Mitsubishi. In Japan they are daily driver vehicles. How they end up over here is as they get older the registration keeps getting more expensive as an incentive to get a new one. Off road with comforts, it even has A/C.
