i usually don't have any weight but last i had my 4wheeler (with plow attachment) in the back and i was still able to slide all over the place... sure weight helps but you still have to know how to drive so that you don't get stuck

but its sooo fun to mess with them. a little extra throttle in a turn and they freak out thinking your gonna slide into them...they're 2 lanes away,
ahaha
or the ones that ride your ***, almost hit you at the stop sign so a little extra gas covers their windshield with slush....

of course my buddy nick at work...thinks hes gonna be invincible with his 4wd sporttrac..lol i cant wait to laugh at his *** the first time i gotta go pull him out of a ditch

I agree, the right snow tires make the differance, there should already be enough "Truck Weight".
