Re: 3/4 ton 2wd with weight vs 4wd in the snow which handles better
Another thing to remember with a 2wd is to try to limit wheel spin. A spipnning tire doesn't really help you because you'll be stuck. My Dad used to drive his 70 Longhorn everyday 28 miles each way to work. I still can't believe some of the snow it would plow through. We always put 700-800lbs in the rear over the axle, it always had a good set of snow tires, and I'm guessing patience had a lot to do with it.
