Actually, 2wd pickups are the WORST vehicle to drive on the road in the snow, with the possible exception of motorcycles. There's usually no weight in the back, so little or no traction and they have relatively high center of gravity, so if they get sideways at any speed, they'll probably flip.

Amen to that, Spazzy. My neighbor has the same vehicle but 4WD, and he STILL loads it with 200 lbs of sandbags over the rear axle every winter. Unloaded 2WD pickups SUCK for traction.

I have 500 pounds of sandbags in the back of my truck. TWD did excellent in the snow today. Chevy Silverodo
