My driveway is higher than Mt. Washington!

There are places right here in the town where I live where a pickup cannot go in wintry conditions without significant weight in the bed and/or 4WD. It's a mite rougher outside of town.

 

I really don't have too much of a problem with snow while in 2wd. Even with the plow on. Don't put any weight in the back either. But then the plow only weighs in at 400lbs.

 

i put about about 300lbs of sand bags right by the tailgate. i usually keep 100 of that 300lbs on the passenger side of the box to counteract things like the gas tank.

 

My truck handles great in wintery conditions. I throw about 200lbs in the bed for the heck of it. I had a reg. cab short bed ram and it didnt do quite as well as the ext. cab short bed.

 

I have never put weight in the bed of my truck in the winter, always use 2WD too. I have only had to lock it in 4WD 3 times in the snow, every time I was offroad and had come to a complete stop and it just needed a little help to get moving again.

My brother who has owned an 01 S10, 03 Sierra, and currently an 06 F-150 all 4x4 says my Ram is by far the best in the snow out of all of the trucks he's had.

 

Thanks for all of the good advice guys! If all goes well I wont be posting any pics of my newly crashed Dodge on here after we get hit with a snow lol
