2015s in snow??
Just wondering how the "lighter" 2015s are performing in the snow? Some of us put cat litter in the bed and now the aluminum is doing a Jenny Craig to our trucks. Just wondering....

I was out in about 8" and it did pretty good. I do put weight in the bed regardless of what truck I drive in snow. Tires were the factory Hankooks.

My 2015 KR is much better in snow than my 2013 limited was.. However, I suspect that the tires were a big part of the difference, Limited had 22" rims with Pirelli tires, great summer tires, winter not so much.

700 lbs less or not, it's still a 4k+ lbs truck, it's not like all the sudden you're driving a sub-2k lbs RWD sports car...

mine really surprised me, seemed to do better than any of the older model 07','11' and 12' f250 my dad has had.. I work shift work and come and go to work at odd hours before the roads are able to get treated, does well in 2wd and 4wd seems to be a tank. never felt a need for extra weight in the bed, Im used to rwd sports cars and knowing when to be easy on the throttle.

The pirellis are the worst winter tire I ever had-I despised those things.

I have to disagree-I took a lariat for a test drive today with those tires and it handled very well. I have driven everything (AT, studded, siped), and was impressed. Particularly considering that we have had a combination of a lot of snow and freezing ran over the last couple of weeks, so the roads are a mess.
