<< I agree. My previous truck was a 2wd 3/4 ton Dodge. While it performed
ok
(with weight in the back), in the snow, it got pretty scarey a times when
it started to slide, particularly reversing ... front brakes lock up well
before the rear, steering is lost, yet even at an idle, the rear wheels are
still pulling. >>
I slip my truck into neutral as I'm stopping on snow and ice. It works
pretty well. I'm also using studded snow tires on the back wheels. Otherwise,
it does tend to plow straight. So far, I've not been using any weight this
winter but it's only started getting serious about snow the last week or so
around here.
