Default Stupid Question
Being this is my first winter with my truck.... Do you shovel the snow out of the bed or leave it?

I'd leave it back there... The more traction in the rear, the better. If it is enough to where the *** is squatting to the ground, get rid of some.

I use my bed, so I try to keep it pretty clean. I also already have weight in it, and unless you have a foot of wet snow, that little bit of fluff isn't going to do much

Default Snow in the bed
Typically I don't have snow in the bed of my trucks as I have tonneau's on both of them along with bed liners. If I had the bed open and snow got in, I'd sweep it out before buttoning them back up.

Don't shovel.

Lower tailgate. Backup really fast and slam on brakes. Snow gone.

LOL
