Default 02 Sport handling in snow

I'm looking at an 02 sport 4x4with the 20" wheels and a 4.7. Does anybody have any experience on how this truck handles in the snow? My old vette with big tires was horrible. How's this big truck do?

Appreciate any help.

Probably about the same as your vette until you hit the 4x4. Typically an open differential 4x4 will handle best in snow or on ice. Posi, LSD or lockers are great for gettin you unstuck or started rolling, but once rolling the ***-end will want to pass the front. Without the front wheels pulling, it will do it right quick on slippery surfaces.
