This is why my two wheel drive ranger stays parked on the street when it snows. It sucks that the plow plows all the snow against my truck, making it even harder to get out, but I manage.
I know i'm not a good snow driver, but i'm not oput there driving in it.
Conversely t o what was said earlier. It amazes me those people that are doing 20 miles over the speed limit with 6 inches of snow on the ground. Generally in bad weather I try to keep pace with the rest of traffic, but there's no way i'm driving the same speed I do when the roads are perfectly clean.

If you shovel snow, you could just throw it in the bed of the truck, which would give you some more weight.

We had this discussion last winter. I'm guilty of this.
Me too! Coldness bring on lazyness like nothing else.
Lemme guess..You two take tremendous pleasure in watching that hunk of snow from the vehicle roof flying off and causing general chaos on the highway behind you? Well, I may be guilty of this, as well.

Me too. I love watching that happen, especially when it's ice and snow because then it's packed together better.

I have 4 60 pound sandbags back there now plus a bunch of other junk, so it's a lot easier now. But i still prefer not driving around stupidly. I had a blazer with a short axle 4WD and snow tires and compared to that, this truck pales in comparison when driving in snow.
I drive a 2 wheel drive truck and it's never been in a ditch...yet. It is a large amount of fun to play with in the snow,V-8 power and a short wheelbase makes for really good donuts.
