We have around 2 inches of snow with slush on the bottom. Truck is sliding all over in 2wd. I put 300lbs of sand in the bed and it helped little. I threw Hankook Atms on It as soon as I got it and it handled amazing in the snow.

Not sure if it's a combo of slush and oem tires or what but I'll be getting new tires before next winter

Here in Toronto we have plenty of snow. wet slush and temperatures hovering just around freezing....

My 2015 with the GY All Terrain Kevlar are CRAP in the snow....Acceleration is ok in 4Auto/4wd... stopping however, the ABS works a lot... plan ahead before stopping

My 2018 with BFG K02's are Phenomenal in these conditions... ABS hardly comes on..... You honestly don't need dedicated snow tires on this truck.... Just get K02s and run
them all year around!

Yes they do, this is the first winter I've ever had junk tires, and the first 4X4 I've ever thrown weight in.

Yep..... been plowing snow almost 20 yrs.
BFG KO2s do great !

One of the best out there, I could push snow in 2wd !
In 4wd i had to be careful not to drive over the curb onto the lawn.

When I left home Friday, with no weight, and 5" +/- of fresh snow, I slipped and slid for 5 mile until I got to the mostly clear state route. No, I didn't use 4X4, figured if my little Ranger could do it, I was going to try with this thing. IMO, it's all the junk tires.
Maybe your truck has too much power?

I'd just be beaming with pride, if that were the case.

With K02's this is an absolute BEAST in the snow.... Simply spectacular!

I’ve put 400 pounds in the back and it drives like a dream in the winter snow. Going to pt winters on it next year though to help with the stopping....

Need to put another 100 pounds in and see how it does. What tires do you have?
