First snow with the Dak...
With my new tires my truck gets up and goes in the 3 inches we had here today. With the old Firestone Destination A/Ts, I had problems getting started even with just feathering the throttle. In 2wd, it still gets light in the rear but its not impossible to drive it.
Oh comeon! With 4x4, just flip the switch and drive! jkjk
The first time I used 4x4 in snow, I almost spun the thing around in the middle of an intersection. I was used to driving a RWD truck, so going to 4x4 and having all 4 wheels pull was a difference. Anything is better than driving in snow with FWD though; I hate the torque steer your get. RWD atleast allows you to counter-steer and actually isnt too bad if you can get traction.

I never had any problems in the snow with the ranger. (I wasn't putting as much HP to ground either.) I just noticed though, the other day, that with the way I like to drive this truck I was breaking traction on wet pavement. Rear tread looks pretty good, I dont want to buy new street tires this winter, as I am getting ready to buy Mickey Thompson drag radials and rims next weekend, and those arent cheap!
